Re: Getting a mig welder.
Shame on Cyberweld for sending it out that way, If I'm getting a repack that's fine but it is usually discounted somewhat and they should have gone over it with a fine tooth comb before sending it out to you. I know how you feel, 4 days late and it arrives damaged! It will all work out in the end. A...

Re: Aluminum welding issue
Yes, CJ you are correct, Everlast are in reverse of my millers. 70% setting on your 325 would do it especially at higher amperage settings. Like the others mentioned, check your gas settings and your balance.

Re: Removing galvanizing if you have the time
Mpete if you end up using the Works, at least you can use the 30% Vinegar as a non selective weed and grass killer make sure you use gloves and eye protection any vinegar above 10% can burn the skin.

He said thay used UHP Ultra High Purity Helium as his shielding gas. I tried it years ago and i...

Re: remove mill scale on welding table top?
Years ago I added a 1/2" top to my welding table and it had mill scale on it, I don't weld every day so I was more concerned with it rusting so I just left it on there, everytime I clean it a little bit more comes off. That was 10 or 15 years ago.

Re: Aluminum TIG Problems
Glad you got it figured out Ant, your second weld looks quite a bit better than the first. I remember one time I had made a repair on a magnesium two wheel cart and grabbed 4043 instead of magnesium rod. finished her all up and the first time I went to use the two wheeler the weld failed! I was shoc...

Nick welcome to the forum It seems you have an inverter, pure tungsten is not recommended for the reasons you have seen yourself. Try using 2% lanthanated, and bump up the balance to 60-70% DCEN. Let us know what machine you have. What he said. :) Adjusting your Electrode negative to 60 to 70. I'm ...
