i had an odd problem myself. the terrible looking weld appearance would really show up in the last 25% or so of the tank of argon. after fighting what i thought was me.... i had airgas check the bottle. they ran tests on on it and found out there was way too much nitrogen in it. i had got 3 tanks in...

if your buying, strongly consider looking at ck flex lock torch in the photo! it can have have the std. vinal cable or the super flex hose. not only is the rotating head a nice option for any weld, the super flex hose just makes it really easy to be comfortable! i bought one and went a step farther ...

im not familiar with that machine, but it appears to me you have too much ac balance. with an inverter machine the idea is to keep a pointed tungsten.

thank you for that information! now i know the correct answer. no problems with your english. you doing better then many of us that use it as our first language!

i called CK, it is indeed from ck. it is a new product.

i am looking for the big box of cups and gas lenses he used in the in the video at about 8:35 into the video. i watched the video again in full screen and the cups have a diamond shape logo on them. i also noticed the kit had an fl2 and fl3 extra heads for the flex lock... i think i will try calling...

in the flex lock video, jody is using a "super cup kit" #sck-2348. i have looked everywhere for this kit and can not find it. where is this kit from? i noticed it had an extra head so is it from CK worldwide? Jody or anyone that knows, thanks in advance!

anyone?

ok... well what cup and gas flow rates are working for you? gas lens or regular collet body. i can convert it to metric.

whats the correct wire for 409 stainless on exhaust tubing?

call everlast directly. try amazon.com or ebay.

i bought a 250ex machine. when i bought it, i thought i was going to be hard to please, since at work i use a dyasty 700. i am very pleased with my 250ex. it has great low end. great start up. does everything they say. i have never used a power pro 256 or a power tig 185, but from the videos that jo...

bronze can work too. it has alot of copper in it.

this is very interesting! do any of you think the same results could be had by running AC 99% electrode negative?? many of the new inverters can go 90% or higher like the dynasty 700 i use at my work place.

i have a metric flow meter on my everlast 250ex. for getting a starting place on flow rates for different cups, i have been using the the same flow as size cup. for example, if i am using a #6 cup i put the flow on 6 litres/min. if i use a gas lens i set one number lower, so is i am using a #6 gas l...

i understand about the heat part. i weld inside a foundry!

helium is a great idea, but in another post i put up there is a helium shortage. i cant get any for sure for the 2012 year. i will pre heat. helium makes perfect sence though since it is a hotter arc.

thats what i was using, stripped wire. i welded one hole to test it. after i sanded it off its a match color wise. the bars i got were buss bars. any electrical copper is usually 99% copper. the same for electrical wire. the filler rods ive seen were not 99% copper. at my job i weld bronze with copp...

i have a 18" by 4" wide by 1/4" thick copper plate. it has 50 holes in it. i want to weld up the holes and have it machine flat, so i can use it as a backer. will copper warp if i weld one hole at a time? i have 12 gauge wire i was going to use as filler rod. thanks for any help!

i really like the sky blue bands from arc-zone!

yep, where i work they buy alotec also. at home i bough different brands. the aluminum i got lincoln brand, it seems to be ok. different machine at home vs work so just wondering what others have experienced.

some people may disagree with me, but i say, if your a beginner, leave the pulse off. until you master the basics it just complicates things with more settings. just my thoughts.

has anyone noticed any difference from one brand to another? i means as to how it welds.

check to make sure u didnt get argon mixed with co2.

i tig weld bronze where i work. we use these rods called ampco-trode. they are red in color and look like copper. i am not 100% positive, but i think harris makes them. i thought i would toss this in there if the silicon bronze rods don't match the color of your alloy you would have another option t...
