Informative Textbook

I actually own a copy of this book, I received brand new back in 2018 (did not order here). From attending a trade school. This is fairly thorough text, covers many processes. I was able to learn things they did not teach us during the course (by reading extra sections)… Reading this regularly definitely helped the 3.4 GPA I graduated with. And is a recommended go to on the subject.

Want to be a better welder? You NEED this book.

Get started SAFELY in any type of welding: Gas, Mig, Tig, or Stick. Use this book to fill in any gaps in basic formal training (such as from a local Community College, which is highly recommended for learning proper techniques) or knowledge. The book is filled with outstandingly detailed illustrations, tables and pictures that cover the different machine particulars, proper set ups and hand movement techniques that will allow anyone to produce consistantly strong welds on just about any material. Check it out: this book has so much information, and is layed out in such a way that it is easily worth twice the asking price!

All that I needed and much more than I expected

This book is essential for the novice (like me) because you get everything from instruction to reference material. It contains safety information, step-by-step instructions and reference material that a novice may never be able to find otherwise (such as recommended initial dynamic pressures for various tips and actual color pictures flames from different gas mixtures). There are some typos and it's a little tough finding certain things by index, but you should be reading the whole section anyway. You should certainly read this book before purchasing any equipment or performing any welding at all; it could save your paycheck, your project or even save your life!
