Description: Visit my store at weldmongerstore.com for TIG Fingers, DVDs, and other quality welding tools. You'll also find many of my welding articles at weldingtipsandtricks.com Welding textbooks often recommend the proper filler rod angle in relation to the electrode angle to be 90 degrees. That's just a suggestion, however, because when you are welding an actual part, there is always something in the way that prevents using the optimal angle. It's fine to aim for a proper angle when you are welding a bead on a plate on the bench, though — you have to start somewhere. Fortunately, your filler rod angle doesn't matter as much as some other factors, which I cover in this video. The bottom line is using a rod angle that gets the job done, right?
