I’m seeing MIG classes, but I’m not seeing the prerequisites for the safety course. Is anyone available to get something on the calendar, please? I know two people at least that would jump a ton the chance to take it!
I’ll try to post when I teach a MIG class because I’ll be covering the safety at the same time as I cover the actual welding so there isn’t a scheduling problem.
I won’t be able to teach classes for a couple of weeks though as I’m pretty busy personally at the moment.
Yep, to take either the TIG or the MIG classes tomorrow, you’d have to have had the DMS welding safety course first.
If you can wait until next weekend, you can take my TIG course which includes the safety part first, or wait until April when Luke will be teaching the safety course and a MIG course.
Has the metal shop committee ever discussed making the welding safety class an online class? It seems like the kind of thing that would benefit from it.
@malcolmputer thanks for the class yesterday. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge on welding (hat tip to Ray as well). Looking forward to improving my welding skills!
For anyone that took the TIG class, here’s the consumables for the Lincoln TIG torch if you wanted to buy your own.
Here is the big kit of all of the parts. I didn’t cover gas lens in the class, but if you see me around in the space I’d be happy to show you how they work as well.
and should work OK for welding aluminum, and be great for welding steel and stainless steel. It’s a little on the “small” size, so I wouldn’t use it for amperages above 150A, but since the machine is limited to 200A that should be fine.
