Re: Newbie from Minneapolis

Looking better. You want that tungsten as close to puddle as possible without actually touching the puddle. I've had some people watch me weld and say the tungsten is in the puddle. I tell them them no it's not. Then proceed to show them what it looks like if I put the tungsten in the puddle lol Sen...

Foot pedals and micro switches

Re: converting a tig torch for new machine

I also used the CK adapter to run a 9 on my everlast 250ex. A little assembly required, but very simple. I can switch over to my 17 in less than a minute.

Just starting some headers here.

Re: Argon prices

The biggest tank weld specialties will let you own is 150, it costs me $47 to fill. Otherwise I believe it's $85 a year to lease a larger bottle.

New to the forum, former JSIW

Just wanted to drop a line and say hi. I weld for a living and on the side as a hobby for about 20 years. Looking forward to getting good info and sharing what I know.
