Time and again I have heard the boast " he's such a great TIG welder that he can tig 2 beer cans end to end "
Well I am a fair welder myself , and have tried this a few times with no luck .
As a matter of fact I have never actually seen anyone do this .
Is this just another urban legend , or only possible with a robotic electron beam welder ?
If I adjust my welder to minimum heat , I get no arc at all , and just a notch higher is way too much heat .
So what say ye TIG GODS , what's the rest of the story ?
