Doesn’t your Everlast PowerMIG have the option to run ally? It would be a LOT easier... And probably look better too. Or just grab a Sooolgun for one of your other machines it can but i got all the tig stuff already and im not overly sure how well the everlast spool guns are/ i kinda have been mean...

As for how it looks, the lack of AC and the cleaning action is the cause of the "Ewww!". for me the ewww is more about the gear required than the look. there is a couple of different methods depending on thickness of the aluminim. but they all need special setups. by mem running electrode...

do any of you do any DC TIG on Aluminum at all, if so i got a few questions on it.

1 can you get away with pure argon and just turn up compansating for the lack of heat the helium brings to it?

2 could you use a argon helium mix and still do it?

depends on the type of machine your going to be running and also the welding amperage, Ie you could run a 300amp inverter on a 4000 watt generator running 90-125 AMPs but you wont be able to run a 250 amp mig welder at 230 amps doing spray transfer on that same generator. best thing i can say is to ...

Ive been thinking on rolling over to Praxair's Stargon 90% argon, 8% C02, 2% O2 over C25 so i can do spray when i need to.

it dose good for spray and also dose good for short arc, I think it gose into spray at a lower amperage then C10 but im not 100%..

I know i can hook up a foot peddle to it with the right adaptor as it is basicly doing the same thing as the remote welding current or voltage knob they sell just have yet to figure out the proper adaptor to hook it up. its got like a 14 or 17 pin on the back and the remote controls ie foot peddle o...

Any of you guys here running a v300 pro for tig? If so are you using hf start or lift arc? What about a foot peddle?

Turn the auto wire feed speed off and try again.

yeah that would be about what your looking for, for a test one and then a test on the peace is about 30 degrees.

i run about 1/8 to 3/16 inch past the cup and i run about 1450 to 1550 amps and about .9 to 1 sec for the time. varries machine to machine.

Studs.... 3/4 studs are not to much fun if the machine is not set right but when there running good u can get a fair number done in a day. Oh 3/4 studs to repair take a 3/8 inch fillet weld 1/2 inch either side of any place that is not flashed.. per D1.1 code book. Also for the love of god make sure...

I know It works in spray transfer quite well, but I was curious why it will do spray transfer but not short arc.. I only came about trying this out because I got myself a invertec 300 and a wire feeder and after messing with it on CV I flipped it over to CC just fir the hell of it, and it worked wel...

If you want to know how inverters work you will need to pick up a text book to get a dumbed down version of how it works. There simple in concept but also hard to explain though. Basically they take AC current convert it to DC then convert it to high frequency AC 25 KHz then step it down to lower vo...

that should not be hard at all.. just make sure not to get to much heat into the peace.

or 100lbs propane tank and go up a rosebud size or two and forget about tank withdrawal rate. i run all my oxy fuel torches on a 20lbs propane tank.. only acetylene tourch i have is a small AIR acetylene one kinda like those little propane ones u put on the disposable tanks.. that i use for automoti...

biggest thing i can tell you once you start the job is prepare to be someone's bitch for a while Ie running the grinder alot and going to get parts but if they like how you take it and you get threw that with little to no complaning and show a desire to work (in my case) they will want to get you to...

dose anyone know a .035 metalcore wire that can be ran on a machine that is 200A and 26V for its max, that is not single pass only

depends on the wire, switch the polaity once.

Been doing good, about 4 weeks into welding school at WITC.. been flying threw stuff!

Got into old vintage outboards this summer so I see some TIG welding of props in my future!

i have had this welder for a long time. it's been around, but i never really used it "heavily." i was welding with it and it just "went into wuss mode." it still makes little wimpy sparks, but no where near what it's suppose to. i've been watching youtubes about blown up diodes ...

Also make sure that welder is plugged right into the wall on at least a 25A circuit.. it's very power Hungary think of it like a pig that is been starved for a week.. it wants every last scrap of power it can get or it will not weld right in the upper settings IE past 2.. I have a 130 and I can lot ...

Question, to those that know. Open circuit voltage readings are going to be one thing, while welding they drop down. Does wire feed speed also change on a mig machine as well? I've seen the method of calculating WFS (trigger and count 6 x10)... it would be interesting to see if this holds while wel...

Are they just hardfacing rods? i have no idea really i know there 115,000 PSI tensile Hardness of Rc28 and are able to to multipass they are also low hydrogen and are a ideal base for hard surfacing , and can be built upto heavy thickness with out cracking but there composistion is close to hobarts...

Part of that reply is based on my current messing around. I've had a generator welder for many years and recently added a millermatic 130 to it. One fellow on welding web talked about getting a little more out of a mig plugged in by turning the rpms up a bit and raising the voltage output. WOW, tur...

i can second the watch the papers and talk to older welders, never know you might find a deal like i did.. i got a running Miller Bluestar 2E for about $250 (225A machine not the new portable gen style unit) as i was saying talk to some welders who have them as you might run into a thing were u can ...

what exactly is haynes multipass electrodes
