Re: Stubby gas lens is giving "meh" looking welds
Also your stick out is fine in my opinion though If I'm running the full diameter of the cup, I like to go an minimum of 2x times the cup size in CFH and prefer more like 2.5x in some situations. When your cup blocks your view of your tungsten and puddle or you have to adopt an uncomfortable positi...

Re: Stubby gas lens is giving "meh" looking welds
It’s nearly impossible to diagnose, but a few things to review are: Is the lens/torch assembled correctly? 2x cup diameter is the target for CFH. Perhaps a tad less. Too high and you create turbulence. I’d use a 3/32 tungsten for 130 amps Insure that all 3 sides (included edges of both pieces) are ...
