Tips on restarts and termination?
I keep ruining welds at the restart and at the end. All I have is a torch switch. Any advice?

Re: Quick newbie question about amperage.
Jody says one amp per thousandth is good up to about 160 and then you start making multi pass welds. My welder helper app says use a bunch of amps for thick material. So my question is do I just never go above 160 and anything thick just weld on 160 amps? i think what hes referring to is prep work....

Re: Gas fire pit
It looks great. It might be a dumb question but where is you gas line running to? And what kind of rocks in the top?

Re: Does anyone make a 2 pin pedal WITHOUT an amp knob?
Sorry - but without modifying your welder you cannot use a pedal - the one you pictured is as I described - uses 2pins for the switch control & 3pins for the current pot ( just separate plugs ) yours as standard has no external connection or ability to switch over from the panel knob to a pedal...

Re: Does anyone make a 2 pin pedal WITHOUT an amp knob?
not sure it will work. Some of the import welders have 2 sockets, and the pedal has 2 wires. Thats what the pedal you are looking at is probably for. How many pins are in the socket on the panel? Also, you need to match the resistance of the pedal to the machine, some require 10k, some 22k, etc. Yo...

Re: Does anyone make a 2 pin pedal WITHOUT an amp knob?
I'm not sure if it will work or not, all I have is two pins and I seen pedals on ebay that say 2 and 3 pin pedals and they have 2 ends- one with two pins and one with three. I've tig welded for two days so I know next to nothing. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180307/fd51da884c94c5dee1d2e23bd607...

Re: Does anyone make a 2 pin pedal WITHOUT an amp knob?
Does anyone make a 2 pin pedal WITHOUT an amp knob? If not is it worth it to use one with a knob or should I just use my torch switch? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Just keep the pedal knob full power, and control amps from the panel. One of my Tig welders needs the pedal knob to control max...

Is this normal?
I got a little tig welder and when I click the hand control to get some pre flow I can see an arc jump from the bottom of the welder to my table. Is this bad? I would think this would be bad.

I figure I'll have 200-300 bucks to spend on filler materials and I was wondering what would be the ...
