A "Shocking" question....

[parkour]

Are you using a high frequency arc starter such as for TIG, or are you scratch starting TIG or stick?
You may need to look at a better glove for the welding hand, and better sleeves for the arm.
Regardless, a better "picture" of the situation will help us make a better determination of what's going on.

Yes... Tig, HF start for both welders and running in AC.
I ditched the basic jacket they give you at school and bought a nice heavy jacket. The glove are Revco Tig gloves, pretty thick.
I have been wearing long sleeve shirts and also have the welding jacket on. I just feel a slight "zap".
I ground the table to the side and have been mostly practicing on Aluminum.
The welding table I built at my shop has a ground tab under the side of the table to keep the clamp out of my work area...BUT, I was also going on the thought that you just ground the table to the side. Shouldn't a "teacher" know these things!? lol

Are you on concrete when you get zapped? Also, are you perspiring in the jacket or gloves? If you give a path, does not matter where the clamp is, it will use you as the path.

Yes, I am on concrete both places.
Not sweating at all.

I've seen people ground their table using a short wire... Their thinking is electric will take the shortest path!?!
