Thanks for the info. I just piced up a #8 cup to try. I will order a gas lens kit soon as my budget allows. For now I will go through what you posted and will get back to you when I`m done. My machine is all manual, so I am the pre flow and post flow control. My Tungsten stays clean, I guess I eith...

Re: The what I welded today (/whenever) thread (pics please)
Not bad BigD. We were going to to get some titanium donated to the school by a local business but we still don't have a 300 amp torch and we were concerned about ventilation. So: How many amps did you use? Did you feel sick afterwards breathing it in? Why would you need a 300a torch? Most people we...

Re: How do these welds look?

You haven't mentioned if you are using an air-cooled tig torch or a water-cooled tig torch. Both are available in 25-ft lengths. Have you pulled the handle off your current tig torch to see/measure what kind of fitting it has? Wp280 out of the box on a Dynasty should have a collar lock on the AR li...

Re: DC TIG aluminum
Actually, quite the opposite is true. You'll have much higher penetration with lower amps with DCEN and 100%He than you will with any manner of AR/He mix at a given amperage. You don't experience near the amount of warpage, as the overall heat input is lessened dramatically. The parts have to be su...
