Re: Primeweld 225 - Slow amperage reaction with pedal
Just wanted to follow up. It was the upslope/downslope settings. Turned both to 0 and away went the problem. Starting to think the Primeweld has too many knobs

Primeweld 225 - Slow amperage reaction with pedal
Hey all, I've been using my Primeweld a lot for almost a year, and have really enjoyed it overall. However, I do have one complaint: pumping the pedal seems absolutely impossible because of how slow the amperage actually changes. It takes nearly two seconds for the pedal to change amperage from an a...

Re: New to TIG Welding, Welds full of porosity
Thanks, guys, got stuff ordered up and just waiting for it to get here now! I personally do like the detail involved with it all, being an engineer, but am just trying not to dive off of the deep end as I'm just getting started.

Re: New to TIG Welding, Welds full of porosity
I believe it was Riverweld or something of the sort. Definitely Chinesium at any rate. And yes, I think I'll be making a nice order from Weldmonger in the coming days. Thanks again!

Re: New to TIG Welding, Welds full of porosity
What type of gas lens kit were you using? I primarily only use CK consumables and don't have any issues with them. I have the same welder, same torch, so was curious what doesn't work that you were using??? Amazon special. No stamping or anything I saw on the collet body. The screen itself was fair...

Re: New to TIG Welding, Welds full of porosity
Thanks all for the words of advice! It ended up being I believe something related to the insulator on the gas lens kit. I happened across a post by Oscar regarding the gas lenses potentially having a few issues. I swapped back to the standard consumables and all the problems vanished immediately. I'...

New to TIG Welding, Welds full of porosity
Hello all, I just bought my first TIG machine a couple of weeks ago, that machine being the Primeweld 225. Since the very start, I have been getting welds that are just completely porous along with the nasty brown haze I have heard about before. It's been very frustrating as I have been changing eve...
