Re: AL TIG woes

I have airgas local to me and had to special order the 4943 in 10lb packs. So I ordered 10lbs of 1/16 and 3/32. If you ask airgas, they can special order it for you

I am curious by you last statement of how fast to puddle ( important with 6xxx).

What did you mean by that?

Re: Clear cups ?

As a person new to TIG welding I started with one on my CK20 and I found that I could see the puddle very well. I then tried a standard stubby aluma cup and surprisingly found I could see the puddle just as well.

I have had zero issues except for the flow alarm and it seems it's only when using the 25foot torch. Other than that I love the invertig with the cooler. Works every time I have played with it, and as a new TIG welder I use it ALOT to practice

Re: whats the best water cooler

So I have the HTP cooler and 25 foot torch. I am also having intermittent alarms for no reason.

I am curious if HTP told you to block that little blue line to raise the flow through the sensor?

So of you who have this cooler as I do, have you had any issues with the flow alarm going off yet coolant is still flowing?
