Re: Primeweld Tig 225 welding cart

Ss melts at a lower temp than steel. Josh, Yes, that's why I had knocked it down to 75 amps previously. What amps would you use in that situattion? I figure I need about 90-95 amps for the steel, would you keep those amps and focus the arc on the steel? As a side note, turning the amps down lowers ...

Re: Tig welding 16oz copper sheet

Welcome to the form
