Gotta back purge.

How far can you push the max amp rating of a air cooled torch? I've got 2 torches now 9 & 17. Been doing some aluminum at 165 amps and wondering if the 17 is way maxed out to the poin't of needing to buy another torch. If I need to upgrade can I use the 17 hose and just buy the head?

thanks

22 guage steel flat but weld what size tungsten and filler would be best? Need to do some practice.

At school they had a vert pipe bolted to the floor with the work table welded to the pipe. The ground was clamped at the bottom of the pipe on all machines. I never had any grounding issues this way.

Check my post and it will tell you what not to buy to backpurge.

should say VICTOR but you get the point

Bought a brand new dual outlet reg for backpurging. Spent almost 250.00. One side is defective valve will not close or regulate flow. Now I am stuck waiting on parts. I would understand if it was a throw down cheapie or if I bought it used but come on.

never mind i bought one

I would look into a comunity college. I started a month ago and its been great. 400.00 for 16 weeks. Its only 2 nights a week at 3 1/2 hrs. I didn't know shit at the start and am really getting comfortable even though I have a long way to go.

No offense meant what so ever but as a NOOB I have found (and been told by my teachers every day) SPEED KILLS.

Buying a new tig machine Miller Dynasty what gas reg should I buy? I don't mind spending the money for something good.

I am a NOOB still in school. I have people waiting on me to gain knowledge to do jobs. I have a 17 torch for school but I need to go to a 9 for these jobs. I have searched the net and am confused as shit as far aas what to get.Help please. I am getting into al and stainless .020 to around ..080 and ...

I am a NOOB please don't laugh. All I can say is practice. The best advice I can give is GO SLOW. Trying to go too fast has been my biggest prob at school.

I AM A NOOB please don't laugh. I wound up wit that pattern last night at school walking the cup on vert. I don't know how but after the pass I thought it looked like a weave not a straight flat stack of dimes. My teacher didn't have a prob so I thought it was ok.
