In this free video clip series, our expert will demonstrate the proper use of welding equipment, including tips for arc, tig and mig welding. Techniques for proper welding, types of welds and troubleshooting tips are included. In this clip: demonstration of push and pull technique.
Hi Chris, I am an aussie who is a dinosaur. We call it forehand (pushing) and backhand(pulling). I've been in the game for 47 years now and agree that sometimes you push and some time you need to pull. But I have PROVEN in the lab that with the same parameters, pulling gives slightly more penetration. Still folks, keep it nice because we all like welding, I love it and am still employed at it.

know your metal, know your equipment, and know how to adapt your technique in order to create the strongest fusion possible.
that means know when to push, know when to pull, and the whole time, you'd better dang well be able to see and know what it is doing.
tig is almost always a push method, as it preheats the area about to be welded and alows what you just welded to cool instead of boiling.
keep the electrode out of the pool though. The tungsten should never touch any metal- either the base or the filler rod.
He sounds Canadian to me.

ONE MORE THING... I Spent a repressive 5 years of my life in the UK (UPPER HEYFORD AFB). You BRITS work only half days compared to us (AMERICANS).. and you bastards are welding with our "AMERICAN" equiptment! (MILLER)
I will be proud to explain the engineering advancements we "AMERICANS" have contributed to your sheep farming community if you would like....Chrisloveszoe
I am an EXPERT at M.I.G and here is my assertion! Never Ever "DRAG" Your weld... And most importantly.. Never Ever "PUSH"!!!
GOT IT???
Stick to these guidelines and you will never have a problem!!
P.S. - Puddle matters! None of these idiots have ever welded in extreme conditions & are spoiled with pansy M.I.G's, and clean metal.
F*CK O** spoiled Brits.. you havnt built SH#T!!!!
yerrr bea. if u drag it then ur a fuckin idiot it reduces the penatration may make it look a slight bit better but who gives a S**t when its gotta hold alot of weight and that and its more then likly to be gettin ground off bloody americans cart weld for S**t
