I don't have a picture yet, and I hadn't tried welding for a week or so. But I got it to work without pre-heating. Turning my Freq down to like 50 from 120 to get a wider cone and just camping and camping and swirling around..i finally got a puddle that consumed that inside corner. It was all contam...

Yea I used a flap disk on it, because I was lazy and I had some tungsten dip explosions all over the place LOL. Its only used on aluminum though. I think I didn't pre-heat it long enough. Also thanks for the links on videos, I will try that too (changing the frequency to lower )... or I bet if I plu...

Im going to try plugging into the dryer plug this week for 30 more amps. Doesn't seem like I can do it on 133 amps.maybe 164 will help

I tried heating it with my kobalt heater..no good, heat way fatser if i just try to hold a weld forever that wont puddlel. Also tried tungsen as close as possible. Also tried to melt the high side then move down to the corner.. noipe. Here is how close my tungsten was.... I think I need more amps? h...

You must not live in the republic of california, or oregon or washington LOL ( because you have sweet bikes with plates )

Edit: actually I think washington wised up.

Nice, I would try more amps if I could.. I could wheel my cart close to the door my shop has a little apartment on it and the washer and dryer is right through the door lol. Could see if that helps...running it on 220 i should be able to get 30 more amps. Havn't gone and tried yet today pre-heating ...

3/32 filler and tungsten's I have 1/16 as well but haven't even opened them yet. Thanks for the tips. I have the stubby torch kit from here. I could try the stock torch I guess. but I was having a really hard time with it. its a #4 non gas lens. Unless i ran basically zero sickout it was impossible ...

I'm brand new to welding Other than covering random things with practice beads I made this as my first project. A dolly for my snowmobile's rear track. Welds are hideous, one of them I grinded off it was so bad, but its holding so far I jumped up and down on it lol. Edit: not sure why it clipping my...

LOL yea, after a XC race a few years back i was completely covered in dirt. and came up with that user name.

I have a Kobalt heat gun I'll try that. as well as getting the tungsten in closer. I definitely did notice it jumping back and forth between the sides.

I'll try tomorrow.

Thanks!

I got my first welder a everlast powerpro 164. I have gone straight to tig/aluminum to start with. Starting to get the hang of it I can feed and do ok beads now. I'm using 100% argon at about 18 SCFH ? CK 17 flex torch with WeldingTipsAndTricks gas lens kit #7 120HZ amps maxed out and using the foot...
