Re: Loss of amperage during weld Precision TIG 185
UPDATE: Still havn't had a minute to take the cover off the old precision tig 185. but figured I should give a update as it's been a while now. However I have had the situation remedied by bringing in a new Miller Dynasty 400 as the shops new main tig machine. I've done a far bit of welding with the...

Re: welding gm axle housing to axle tubes
I've run into similar types of situations where I know I've done the same job 100's of times but then one unit will come in that is "different" Usually I found with me it's that the unit is a aftermarket product produced who knows where using who knows what for material. to be specific I c...

Re: The what I welded today (/whenever) thread (pics please)
Here's a little cube I made up last weekend for some practice. Material was 1/4" aluminium, can't remember which alloy as it was just a piece of bar laying around the shop. Joint setup was a outside corner, all welds were done horizontally. Machine was a Miller Dynasty 400 set @ 275 Amps A/C, N...

Re: Loss of amperage during weld Precision TIG 185
I’d unplug the box, remove the cover, and inspect the ground terminal connections internally. After that much age, they will come loose and you’ll get intermittent amperage transmitted. Could also be a bad component on the PC Bboards. Fingers crossed it’s not. As an aside, 185 amps is pretty low fo...

Loss of amperage during weld Precision TIG 185
Hello all, Long time lurker first time posting. So I've got a job in my shop right now to do that I'm currently pulling my hair out with due to my machine cutting the amperage mid weld. Machine is a Lincoln Electric Precision TIG 185 (Bought brand by our company, boss estimates it's 15+ years old. C...
