That black soot means you've lost gas coverage. Three quick checks:
• Bump argon flow to 15–20 CFH and shield from drafts.
• Don't stick out too far — keep the tungsten close.
• Make sure your gas lens or collet body isn't leaking.
AI reasoning + verified field intelligence
The Skilled Trades Have a Knowledge Problem
Not just a labour shortage.
Knowledge is fragmented
Answers are scattered across manuals, forums, and memory.
Experts retire
Decades of hard-won judgment walks off the jobsite.
Experience disappears
The fixes that only come from doing are never written down.
Training is inconsistent
What you learn depends on who happened to train you.
Critical field knowledge is trapped inside people's heads
The most valuable know-how never gets captured.
Torch fixes that.
Meet Jack
A conversational AI that answers real trade questions — combining AI reasoning with proprietary field intelligence.
Ask Jack anything
Undercut on vertical-up FCAW usually comes down to travel speed and dwell.
Slow down slightly and add a brief pause at each toe of the weld to let the puddle fill the edges before moving up. Keep your work angle around 90° and drag angle 5–15°.
If it persists, drop your voltage a touch — too hot widens the pool and washes out the toes.

Continuously improving
Every contribution and question makes Jack sharper.
Today's knowledge should never retire.
Every day, decades of hard-earned trade knowledge disappear from jobsites.
Not because people don't care.
Because no system exists to preserve it.
Torch is building that system.
A living intelligence infrastructure where field experience is captured, organized, verified, and continuously expanded.
Jack is only the beginning.
Every mentor.
Every apprentice.
Every solved problem.
Every lesson learned.
Strengthens the intelligence available to the next generation.
Our goal isn't simply to answer questions.
It's to ensure that the knowledge required to build our world is never lost again.
Torch isn't building another AI tool.
We're building the knowledge infrastructure for the skilled trades.
One generation contributes.
The next generation builds further.
Knowledge compounds forever.
Built by Someone Who's Been in the Field
After 20 years in construction as a Red Seal welder, Derek Chok realized the industry's greatest asset wasn't labour — it was experience. He watched decades of hard-won field knowledge disappear every time a veteran left the trade.
That realization led to Jack. Derek built Torch because he saw the knowledge vanishing firsthand — and knew that capturing it was the only way to protect the future of the trades.
