Re: What size gas lense for my Miller #17 torch is best?
How did you arrive at 120amps? I wouldn't go that high on 1/16. I've just been working on 1.6mm, with a 1.6 tungsten and if going any higher than 60amps I was getting undercut but don't see that with yours. On having another look, it does appear you are getting some undercut. The 120A was just a &q...

Thanks for your reply. Then I will proceed with plumbing my two flow meters off the one regulator using brass fittings.

What size gas lense for my Miller #17 torch is best?
I'm looking into a gas lense for my Miller #17 TIG torch. What gas lense set up would you all recommend for TIG welding on 1/16" (.063) 308L stainless? I've been using a 1/16" tungstun (red) sticking out about 3/8" from a #7 cup with about 8-10 CFH flowing, 120 amps set on DCEN and it...

Re: Can I make my own dual flowmeter regulator for TIG?
Tee'ing off the main stub (removed from one flow/reg unit to use as the "master") coming out of the tank and double branching off to two sepaarate flow/reg units seems a no brainer. My main concern is the type of fittings that need to be used. Should I assume brass would be best? Also, sho...

Re: How long with the Tig tungston last
I have just started with a Tig Welder so you can just imagine where my head is. Tig skill (LOW LOW). Can anyone tel me how long should the Tungston last. Not counting how many times the work piece jumps up to touch the tungston or when that stupid filler rod, on its own grabs hold of the tungston j...

Can I make my own dual flowmeter regulator for TIG?
I have two individual flowmeter regulators. I need to set up a purge system for my stainless steel project (bad sugaring) using my TIG Argon setup. Dual flowmeters are $200+!!! Can I just plumb my two together (correctly) and make my own setup? If so what do I need to be careful of (brass-only fitti...
