hmmm that does make sense. I know it's just one of those things that is hard to wrap your head around why it is opposite, and you just have to accept the fact that it's just how it is. But i'm one of those people that when they were a kid, they pulled their remote control cars apart to see how it wo...

Ok so have done a little search, and i hope i don't get roasted if this is already covered. But my question is. When using TIG DCEN, more heat is in the work piece. And when using STICK DCEN, more heat is in the electrode. So am i right? And if not, or if so, can someone explain in "dumb mans t...

Na i haven't mate. Don't have a foot pedal at this stage. Although was talking to a welder repair place today to see if they can change connections on one to suit my welder, and also make a custom torch and lead for me. So hopefully will have that soon

Bit delayed, but i had i bit of a play around with the pulse settings. What can i say, i'm in love! It is really simple, allows you to control the weld a lot better, and i reckon it made the weld "prettier". I would how ever, use a test piece to refine the settings before starting on the &...

Top stuff guys, you made it seem simple. Sorry about knob 5. I got my numbers confused. I did mean knob 3. for stick welding. Just to confirm, because there was two different bits of info there, is pulse duty the amount of time it is at high amps or low amps? I might check out that ebay shop. I want...

Hey everyone, how are we all? Ok so quick background story, then the questions. I bought this welder late last year. It is a weldmaster 200 amp ac/dc tig. Fantastic welder! I then taught myself to weld, including aluminium, and have just recently gone and got my 6G ticket, as well as others. So atta...

Hi everyone, Well i have been on here before, but went away from the forum scene as i had little time. Now figured i'f come back. I've come a long way since i first got my tig welder. Have been doing a fair bit of aluminium welding, and currently doing my 3g mig, and 6g tig. Just hoping i have enoug...

either that or just enrol for the tig modules. might make it a bit cheaper too!

here is a pic of the welder control panel. the green ticks is what i understand. but i just dont understand how to select the red cross ones...although the peak current im pretty sure i got down pat.

hey steve. that helps a lot thanks! i figured the arc thing would be for stick, just wanted to make sure there. the pulse i have now seen videos and that seems like it wont apply to me for a while untill i wana have a play around with it. and for peak and basic current, what sort of settings should ...

Hi every body, new to the site and new to TIG welding. I have done prety much all other types but really want to get into aluminium. So here is the question. I just bought a new weldmaster 200p vrd.
