Please don't interpret this wrong, but perhaps you should stay clear of this problem and focus on your responsibilities? If they aren't interested in correcting an issue they don't acknowledge exists, any amount of input will only alienate you from your peers/supervisors.Vulpine welder wrote: ...I've got other guys coming behind me giving them bad information, and as they would rather me stick to my job then teach other people I don't get to solve the problem.

I loved " the guys doing the welding are'nt actually welders " ! so what are they then ? I heard you can train a monkey to Mig weld but surely not Tig ? could be wrong I guess - they do have thumbs !

A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

cj737,
Most of the time I stick to my own work but on occasion I get an opportunity to go back and talk with them. Try to actually teach them something about welding, but seeing as I'm still learning it's more like the blind leading the blind. They just told me they were having this problem and was trying to help them out. Try to learn something also. So thanks for all the input.
Warrenh,
You're right I'm still trying to learn. Got to start somewhere. What are somethings I could focus on to so I can ask questions in a better way? And learn to tig weld. That would be good.

Have the firm invest in a copy of this manual.

We are all still learning. There was nothing wrong with the question. Sometimes you might have to add more details. As far as getting better at tig welding, learn to relax your torch hand. You need to be able to slide it and move it smoothly and tension kills that. Dont get too caught up in settings. I weld aluminum all day. The machine I prefer is a miller synch 351. It has ac balance and amps settings. Nothing else. I keep it at 400 amps. I couldnt tell you what amps I use for what. Watch your puddle and use the heat you need.
