Re: Sort-of Rookie welder in Thailand

Thanks for the welcome!
We split time between locations...Rangsit, Pathhum Thani is my wife's home for many years and the center of our business fun. We are developing a tiny orchard in Chanthaburi and building a new home there.

Line Power

Hi all, new to the forum...a rookie TIG welder just buying my first machine. A programmable light duty Welpro TIG200P. German spec, Taiwan built. Tests worked well on carbon and aluminum...knobs are goofy, but weld quality nice! My issue is something I have never experienced before. We are in Thaila...
