Man I just bought a miller diversion 180 Tig machine to learn and I have the same issue. The gas line is cranked hard to the left so I have to hold my torch with it under more pressure then feels comfortable. I had no idea that other lines could create a softer feel and help to make my torch feel li...

MIG or TIG, body panels will distort. As you weld, the patch expands. As you continue to weld and restrict the panel, it shrinks while it cools and then distortion around it and within it comes. Not many ways around it. The best (very experienced body fabricators) will weld on a short stitch, then ...

welcome. feel free to ask any questions. So I'm having a bit of a struggle feeling like navigating the site is tough I'm of course not tech savvy. You said I could ask questions I thought I posted questions to you with no response. Maybe they didn't go through. Any way where is everyone? Are there ...

I was laying some beads on steel without filler as I am just learning and practicing. Then all of a sudden my arc instead of striking down on to the metal it was shooting up the tungsten and into the cup making a crackling noise and it's kinda scary. Any idea why this is happening? Miller diversion ...

Thank you for sharing I'll take all the knowledge I can get. I have a miller diversion 180. Isn't much for settings. I was running 124 amps like the video of Jody's was doing on the same 1/8 plate and it was running along fine and then all of a sudden it started with the funny arc going up into the ...

So throw the pure tungston away run 2% lanthinated? Is this the reason for the crazy arc? I'm trying to learn still where to buy products. Any tips for good places I have been buying from weldmonger. They are out of stock on some things I want.

Thanks man first to reach out I am super beginner here and today I was trying to practice running some beads across 1/8 steel with no filler and all of a sudden when I tried to start an arc it was shooting up the tungston and in the cup and making that crackling sound like no ground. What could be h...
