Many manufacturers of welding equipment have a ton of great information on their websites from product news, to tips and solutions, and even some online communities where you can get advice from fellow fabricators.
TIG Torch Tip from Weldcraft:
“Maintaining good electrical contact between your tungsten and collet helps improve current transfer and weld quality. Keep your TIG torch components tightened and check regularly for worn parts.”
Here we have a video illustrating the important steps in maintaining your TIG torch:
Take Care of your TIG Torch
Be sure to maintain the front end parts like the o-rings, gaskets, gas valves, and seals are all in good shape. Then make sure that the cable connections are tight — but be careful — you don’t want to over tighten!
