Do you have a magnet anywhere near what you're welding? Like holding 2 pieces together? i've (and im pretty sure many people have) welded with magnets less than an inch away from my weld zone and i've never seen any magnet screw up a weld like that at 10 amps, though thats just me. unless he owns a...

Noticed you said you put a gas lens kit after, then it started welding all weird, not beforehand, so 2 things one of which might solve your problems, at my school I was welding with 20cfh and had no problem without a gas lens, when I went to put my own gas lens on it the arc was basically doing what...

Now for the part that no one else touched on...MAKE SURE YOU GO TO A PROFESSIONAL SHOP!!!! hope this helped a bit! it actually helped a good amount, you confirmed what i thought, to get places that could be easily covered up until you get a secured job, then you may move to more visible locations,a...

But you did ask the original question, so you must have realised you mightn't like all the answers. . faiyly decent point, i didnt mind your opinion, i just didnt like the part where you said all tattoos where nearly identical and people only do it to try to stand out, because (and i dont seem to b...

not to ridicule everyone with a tattoo. But hey, you're right, they're fine art and right up there with the Mona Lisa. Don't forget to let us all know how much you make when you sell one of your tattoos on to a collector. [/quote] id value ink more than the mona lisa to a certain extent sir, if im ...

these near-enough identical tats on people trying to "look different". there are many,many more reasons people get tattoo, to permanently put something meaningful, or weather its just art they love, you should look closer and keep an open mind before assuming, the people who do it because...

Tattoos are a bit like real estate... "Location, location, location." As already stated, you should be able to completely conceal them in a reasonable dress shirt. "Curb appeal." Anything that shows when in short sleeves should be tasteful. I.e. not gaudy, sexual, or otherwise o...

i know that many of you call 'tattoos' in welding are the burns you get, which leave a permanent scar, but this isnt that. i'm at the moment 18,thinking of getting some tattoos in the future,i find them beautiful when done right,so i want to get many, most likely legs, arms and back. and i was wond...

As an old timer, I haven't seen the logic in tattoos. Is it because it makes one feel unique in this crowded world? Why go through the expense of disfiguring your body unless you think your body is unacceptable as it is? Piercing seems to follow the same thought process. Of course, it is your body ...

. This kind of stuff is gold. If there is any chance of a future video showing more slo-mo footage like this, with particular reference to the way welds 'draw' the parts, I'd be keen to see it. not sure if you have seen this video or not, but i found it fairly useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

It isn't 4C, it's regular lens

Welcome!

im selling a viking 3350, the reason im selling it is because i got a new pipeliner helmet a few months back, and fell in love with it ever since and my electronic helmet has been sitting on the shelf since then. ive used this helmet for about on-off for about 2-3 months till i got my pipeliner helm...

Nice looking beads! You are definitely getting there. But, things will be better if you get the mill scale off before you weld. Makes for a much cleaner weld. I know it's not critical for practice-but try to develop good habits to start with. Hope this helps. its cold rolled, not hot rolled, :| i c...

are there any tricks to make it easier to..........make the torch move smoother? noah Get a tig finger. already got one, by smoother i meant to keep it steady going upwards while standing up, and keeping the even arc length, it obviously comes with practice, just wondering if anyone had tips to hol...

Very good! Better than I have seen from guys around here who claim to be pro's and "have 30 years of experience" No smoked metal this time and your stack a dimes in just about there. You are now a Tig welder 8-) :D thanks, nice to see results after you work hard at something! only thing i...

Consistency isn't too bad - several toe areas did not wet out (tie in) to base metal - looks like not enough amps. Stay 125 or above on 1/8" and motor out - faster travel with more amps puts less total heat into the piece. It's a balance, you'll nail it eventually :) I tell people that after t...

It's not really the frequency per say, but it all has to do with the bead profile. You definitely don't want a concave bead. You don't want too much convexity either. Both compromise the strength of the weld. You want a little bit of convexity with a nice, smooth tie-in at the toes of the weld. Ok ...

Good job. You have the moves down but a couple of your pics show smoked metal. You gotta move along and never linger or you smoke your base metal. A few look MUCH better color. You got it brother...a little more seat time and you're there. which one looks smoked? the butt joins looks like it now th...

sorry for the 2 black pictures, i have no idea how to fix it. but all it was is a T joint where i dipped more often than the last picture, here is a similar one,but not as good:

so i just started tig welding about 3 days ago on CRS 1/8x1x6" i use 135 or so amps, feathering the pedal between 100_120 here are the results, any tips? 20160724_190045.jpg 20160724_193518.jpg 20160725_163610.jpg 20160725_165258.jpg 20160726_173439.jpg the pictures are in order of which i weld...

input wired wrong ? Might be getting 110/120 to one side of welder plug or if it is combo single phase/3 ph,could have wrong wires for the plug to panel/outlet.My 250 has constant run fan when wired right. a Mutimeter for a check and the manual wiring diagram. Check Everlast site for current manual...

Noah, I'm curious if the tig torch is shorted. Try disconnecting it and powering up the unit. since it cant weld i dont think the unit is too hot even if the light is on, i tried the waiting 10 mins to reopen the light and it didnt work either. so i think ill have to give them a call on monday, tha...
