Stop Guessing, Start Welding

Tired of burning through test pieces just to dial in your machine? The Miller TIG Calculator (Metric) is your new best friend in the shop. We all know that TIG welding is an art form that requires patience and precision, but that doesn't mean you should waste time guessing your settings. This handy pocket-sized slide rule takes the mystery out of machine setup, giving you the confidence to tackle any job that comes through the door. Whether you are a seasoned pro or just learning to dip the rod, this calculator is the cheat sheet you’ll want in your back pocket.

This specific version is tailored for Metric measurements, perfect for those blueprints that come in millimeters. No more doing mental math or converting fractions on the fly. Just slide the card to match the thickness of the metal you are welding, and boom—you have your answers. It tells you exactly what tungsten size to grab, which filler rod will work best, what cup size to screw on your torch, and where to set your gas flow. Most importantly, it gives you the amperage range you need to get a smooth, consistent bead without blowing through the base metal.

The Miller 175848 covers the "Big Three" of TIG welding: Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Mild Steel. Switching from steel to aluminum? Just flip the rule and adjust your settings instantly. It’s built tough to survive the shop environment—grease, grime, and sparks won't kill it like they would a smartphone screen. It’s a simple, old-school tool that solves modern problems.
