Chips, Find music you like in the tempo you want to count your movements in, and build a playlist to listen to while practicing. The natural tendency to follow the beat of a song is great muscle memory training for "advance, pause, dab". Or "advance, dab". I've been welding a lo...

How can i do this check?Multimeter? Actually the pedal is from the same manufacturer compatible with my machine.

Konstantinos, if your machine will only indicate amperage while actually welding, you can set up the torch in a vice at an appropriate distance from a piece of heavy scrap, and set up a shield to protect you from the arc. You can then mash the pedal, adjust the dial, and read the machine's stated a...

The pot's on Chinese welders are rarely linear so it's trickier than it first looks - my suggestion is hold the pedal down full travel with amp knob on min & note display setting - then increase slowly every 10 amps or whatever division you want & mark onto periphery of knob with a line - i...

Well my problem in brief is that when i use the foot pedal on my machine ( a German made ''stahlwerk AC/DC'' TIG 200A) the max amperage is controlled by a rotary knob on the foot pedal itself (or i think so). The instant amperage is indicated on the machine display.The knob had a very crude division...

new to the forum and to welding in general(about 180lit of argon so far).. this is my practice 40mm aluminum pipe 2.5 mm wall thickes , basically a test post to see how to upload photos, hope it works

THANK YOU ,thanks all of you for the warm welcoming :D ευχαριστω πολυ (that's in Greek ) I really enjoy tig welding although i still suck , it is quite satisfying to see any little progress day by day. At first i thought tig welding was all about tungsten grinding :mrgreen: Funny thing is that while...
