I got a Harris 62-5FL torch and am running it on propane/oxygen. It seems to run fine when connected straight to the hoses, but I have 1 question and 1 problem: What is the easiest way to adjust for a neutral flame on propane? Acetylene is easy and well defined, propane has always been a bit of an t...

Up to now I have used a victor set, with GPN tips, but it walked away :evil: . I had an opportunity to use an injector mixer torch once ( a Harris, but not sure of model ) and thought it was significantly easier to set. So I am thinking of a Harris 62-5AFL with 6290NFF cutting tips and 6290GG gougin...

No problem on the Hi-jack. Made a couple of changes: 1) Changed to 1/8" 6010 and current still at 70 Amps 2) Changed Shade to 9 3) As suggested, 3 circles long arc and then dive the rod in at start 4) Changed to Vertical Up The result was much better, I still had to whip a bit when the keyhole ...

Well I just spent a hour practicing: 1) Fixing the ground connection really helped keeping the electrode lit. 2) I found I have to turn the current down to about 70 amps ( 3/32 ) to even have a chance of controlling the puddle. And, with the ground fixed, I can keep the rod lit at this amperage. 3) ...

Yes, but the results were suspect. I could not run anything, old 6010, new 6010, and even the 6011 I picked up. After a while I went into reset mode: I got some 7018 I had previously run without incident, went into the garage and cranked the machine up to 120 A. The welder is sitting in the garage, ...

Thank's for the welcome. I will give any and all hints and tips a try.

Let me see: Long Arc Hot, short Arc Cool. This seems counterintuitive to me, but will give it a whirl this evening.

Thx's, Fred.

Self taught but trying to improve and learn to 'keyhole': 1.5" by 6" ( 1/8" ) strips tacked 3/32" apart, in the flat position. 3/32" old no-name 6010 at 85 Amps. The keyhole just keeps growing, so tried at <85 Amps and refused to start and stay lit ( not saying it is not me,...
