[/quote] I kind of agree. Looked like it could have been a number of things mentioned, IMO. But the latest welds he posted look pretty darn good. If I can get aluminum welds like that when my welder gets here I'll be doing the snoopy dance! ;)[/quote] thanks mate i appreciate it, what welder are you...

I know, i just never experienced such a consistent surge with a dirty tungsten. Not saying it couldn't happen, just not understanding completely how it works. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk sorry for the misunderstanding , i think the probleme was cause mainly by a dirty tungsten. why it was ...

allright , so i was able to do more test on the machine , turn out im a complete goof ball ( as i was hoping ) . so the solution was a good clean tungsten , not too much cfh , enough post flow to keep your tungsten clean ( i mean keep your tungsten clean ) and enough amp to get a quick puddle. i did...

hey, have you found the solution to your problem ? ill be interrested to know how you solved this . thanks

here's pic of the setting, notice on this machine the % is for the cleaning so 30% means 70% EN. i cannot do testing right now ( which i'm dying to do ) cause i dont have argon left...

yess youre right , on the rating it says 32,6 amp PEAK ( max inrush ) which mean when i strike an arc the first few second the amperage will bump up at full amperage in this case 125 amp AC. otherwise at 100amp on AC with 120v power supply its said it draw 20amp continuous ( at 100amp on AC) and 5am...

3/32 tungsten

yes i start with a sharpen electrode with blunt tip but as soon as the trouble start the tungsten ball up like if i have it on real high DCEP. the 120V input is one of the culprit i admit i didn't thought of playing with amperage ill try that next. right now i dont have access to 220v but i think th...

i fear so, i don't have photo handy of steel weld but the dc side is working flawlessly with pulse and everything its only on AC that have the problem. i fear its one of the igbt or whatever is the doing the ac switching. witch is really frustrating coming from a brand new machine which has 2 sticke...

thanks for the reply i already tried more stick out and about 10-15cfh with the same result and the tech guy at everlast told me to tried to get a really short stick out and more argon to get that puppy shielded making sure that the arc have plenty of argon to make is path to the material. but did n...

Hi , im new here but been welding for a couple years now , just purchased a brand new everlast powertig 185dv to practice some aluminium tig at home. first out of the box did some steel bead trying everything on the dc side of the machine ( worked perfect as expected from a brand new machine ). then...
