Thanks for that. I'll see if I can find a stainless version to try.

If you have the correct type of machine, these work really well too: https://www.aaabrasives.com/walter-13m454-4-1-2-x-2-x-5-8-11-0-01-steel-linear-crimped-brush?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD8WZwRhkw1oQRnr1s7NJwyg6PSDQ&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgMvD97SRiAMVc19HAR0BkCOdEAQYCSABEgKl-PD_BwE Would you mi...

Different how?

I think you need to be a bit more forthcoming with information. Do you have a manual? Does it say that both MAG/MIG and FCAW-S are supported? Is there anything similar to what I posted on yours? What about a picture?

Jack

Is it similar to this one?

Is there a polarity swap terminal set inside the wire bay like this?

In many cases the actual resistor value doesn't even matter that much as most machines use it as a voltage divider and just measure the position by the voltage drop across this. On these you could run pretty much any potentiometer of a few K-ohms as they will all show exactly the same voltage 'swee...

Hi guys im new to the group. Could use some advice. Hi, welcome to the group. I want to purchase a tig torch with a switch & potentiometer Options are 1k 5k 10k 25k. How do i decide which option I need. Have a look at the foot pedal that goes with your welding machine. Use the same value pot. H...

The maximum current is generally set on the machine but some pedals have an additional pot so that the pedal can only use a portion for the maximum set on the machine. I think your pedal connection looks like this: YesWelder 250 ACDC pulse Pedal Connection.png But if you add another pot like this on...

The answer to that question is probably moot by now but ...

Why not get some 0.035" contact tips - or 0,9mm? 1mm will work, it is just pre-worn.

I don't know what's inside that machine but it sounds like there is a short between the welding circuit and mains ground. Assuming the case is grounded (connected to mains ground), your open circuit voltage of 82V will appear (probably) between the return clamp and the case (or mains ground). It is ...

I realise it doesn't help you much but I am curious how that is an upgrade. I would go to the ball type rather than from it. Is what you have of poor quality - or broken - that you want to change?

This entire years old thread is a solution in search of a problem. :roll: A single, moment of a rush of argon is completely inconsequential to welding. Anyone who doesn’t tap a pedal when first setting up, or checking for leaks after a tank swap is an alien. You can’t even begin to calculate the “l...

HI folks. I have the welder listed below. It came with a flowmeter. I was wondering if the pressure is too high though. When I start a weld there's a big gush. I don't know if it's adjustable. I could put a regulator ahead of the flowmeter I guess. I don't know if this affects my Al but my steel lo...

to add, mig (mild steel) is actually mag ie active gas. Yes, that's true. But you are not going to change the seemingly millions of people who call anything with a wire feeder "MIG". That's why I wrote "MIG (GMAW & FCAW-G)". here tri mix is the norm which has a small amount ...

Can someone explain to me what exactly is happening with mild steel mig with 100% argon vs mild steel tig using 100% argon? I't not just shielding gas. Some other molecular activity involved. What sort of molecular activity are you seeing? TIG uses DCEN and, even though the current in the ARC is ma...

He's tried from 20%-50% on the AC balance with little to no cleaning action. Cleaning will only occur where there is gas coverage so even if there is sufficient balance adjustment, cleaning won't happen if (say) the cup is too small. I only asked because wouldn't he be on the wrong side of the bala...

Here's a weird question. When I buy C25, is it 25% CO2 by mass, volume, or what? The relevant standards will tell you but, like you, I don't have them. However, BOC states: The designation system shall be based on volumetric percentages. https://www.boc-gas.com.au/en/images/BOC_223453_Shielding%20G...

Can you add a small load to the generator to keep it revving but not so big it starves the welding machine?

I have seen many videos where the weld looks like "stacked dimes" but mine seem to be the correct height and width but smooth. Lincoln Square Wave 200, 1/8" mild steel, 3/38 Lazr tungsten, 120 amps, 1pps. Ideas? No doubt with a key word of "dimes", there will be other posts...

In addition, if you have a single stage regulator, when you swap from an empty cylinder to a full one, your regulated pressure and flow will be less. Depending on your setup, it may be quite a bit less. You need to check that the flow with the full cylinder is sufficient for the job - in your case, ...

I assume that was an unintended statement - it applies to TIG but not to MIG.

Jack

Sorry to mention the obvious, but do you have the leads the right way around? It matters in AC so the balance works properly.

Another great product option is Toilet Bowl cleaner. Stronger than vinegar, works a bit faster, and easily neutralized by fresh water.
