Hey guys I am trying to get an idea how most of you guys hold your torch. I am taking a tig welding class right now and how the teacher shows to hold it might be comfortable for him but is not working for me. Could you guys post some pictures of how you hold your torches so I can mybe try some dfferent ways of holding the torch.

Thanks!

 

whatever is the most comfotable for you and still allows you to retain a good torch angle

 

I hold mine, like I hold a pen/pencil when I write. Its comfortable for most of the welds I do. In some areas I have to change the way I hold the torch, so I can get a good angle.

 

I hold it however its best to weld what I'm welding in the position I'm welding in. There isn't really a rule about how you have to hold the torch.
