Re: Noob has a little trouble with 1" square tube, Rnd corne

Heh guys, Sorry about the disappear but had to move inside due to weather and gas shield issues. Once I opened the old shop area, I realized I had a mold build up, mice and their extended families living inside my walls, cabinets, etc. This took a lot of my time to clean up. This with working a farm...

Re: Noob has a little trouble with 1" square tube, Rnd corne

Hey guys, I have not been out to the welder due to tractor problems that seem to be coming all at once.
I have written down all your suggestions and will work through them and let you all know how it is going.
Have a great day.

Re: Noob has a little trouble with 1" square tube, Rnd corne

Hey guys, I will have a go later today after chores and work through the various suggestions you have put forward. I have had some success on flats with the present setup but the square tube is another matter. Tungsten tip shape and loss of argon due to curvature of the tube are something I had thou...

HI Guys, Thanks for the quick reply.
I will have a look at the settings as described as soon as I can get back out, probably a day or so.
My welder usually reverts to same save but sometimes does not.
