Salt6 ? I didn?t even think of that, the elctroded that it came with is propably garbage, I have already purchased new 2% Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes I?ll swap it out. Salt thanks for your time on mg42.us!
Midnx ? Thanks I?ll get a copper bar, because so far I?ll I do is burn through.
Biggundoctor ? I?m using pure Argon, I don?t have a foot control it?s all off the panel. It?s a 130 amp tig. It?s a scratch start- So I touch the metal and pull back to start the arc, but some times the electrode sticks to the sheet. The welder can go so low that I can?t even start an arc.
Joshgar8 ? I?ll keep the seems tight and use a copper bar backing as a heat sink. The welder is a 220 volt 130 amp tig/90amp arc. What does it mean to sugar?
Striker754 ? Can I purchase a pedal and install it on a panel adjustable only unit?
Riss ? If you register at Harbor Freight they will e-mail you a 20% off coupon, wait until the welder goes on sale for I think $199.99, Once you get a tank $135 for a 55 cf tank, regulator, welding mask, gloves, electrodes, welding rod. You?ve spend well more than what the welder cost you., but it?s the best deal on a hobbyist TIG you can get!
Thanks!
Keep the advice coming!
