Give the gift of welding! For beginners and experienced welders alike, Miller has accessories, helmets, safety apparel and affordable welders and plasma cutters for you or the welder in your life. Take a look at these ideas now.

TIG welding is considered a bit more difficult than MIG welding but with a few tips, like the ones below, you’ll be making some good looking beads in no time at all!

With the Miller Diversion™ 180 TIG welder, you must first set the machine for the material to be welded. Check the thickness by color code and set the amperage for that material size.

Common mistakes include attempting to begin the weld before you have a puddle, the filler rod is too large for the material being welded and failure to use the correct tungsten size and type for the material.  Last but not least is the improper joint fit up of the base material.

Check out the TIG welding calculator available at MillerWelds.com/mobile for suggested settings. Note that all suggested settings will be approximate. Welds should be tested to comply to user specifications.

Robert learned long ago that communicating with a distributor and the end-user in a friendly and positive manner goes a long way. Going on 39 years, he’s found it’s sharing the “Miller family perspective” that gives people a certain comfort level. “It helps us find out what they truly need.”

His role is sales support for the end user and distribution channel in the north central region. Robert points out, “Customer service is a big piece of what we do. We’re here to build a product that helps the end- user meet their needs with no downtime. Everything we do here is focused around how we can help an end-user.”
