Tig welding vertical up
Hello, im trying to learn to Tig weld vertical uphill, but am not doing well. I cant seem to avoid under cutting. Any ideas? Also, what is your opinion of the Miller Diversion 165?
--------------------------------------------------
first make sure the metal is clean. hot rolled mill scale will cause undercut most everytime.
second, let cool between passes enough to touch without burning.
third, hold a pretty tight arc..a long arc tends to undercut
forth, make sure you are comfortable...
here is a video page on doing some vertical tig.

I think the diversion 165 is ok, but i hate the fact that the torch is hard wired in and you cant change it out easily....and its a big torch too.
its a good arc, and a good company, but they got it wrong on the torch.
best of luck,
jody
