Re: Squarewave 200

Considering it as my next upgrade but I have a question. Does this Lincoln 200 Tig can use the lift arc like 210mp?

Re: Machinable MIG Welds

Gas and TiG welding heat the panel slowly, then it takes a lot longer to cool it down, This is an annealing process. But MIG heats up the metal quickly and cools a lot faster, which I think is a hardening process. Now there are few wires like ESAB Easy Grind that helps make a softer weld, by changin...

Re: Stainless rod recommendation

Re: Lincoln Square Wave 200 tig welder review

My guess would be it is based on the same inverter from the PM210. They may have added an AC chopper & HF generation stage and have a common DC inverter. Made in China? I'd be interested in seeing the internals when someone gets one. Looks like a nice machine, and a great price point -- should p...

Re: Blade life

I don't know what other equipment you have or what your spatial constraints are, but if I was going to have one saw for metal working it would be a vertical / horizontal bandsaw. The HF 4x6 is a nice unit for the price, and if you have the time and the skill you can make it a much nicer saw. Persona...

Re: Welding 4140 to A572 Gr B

4140 especially in heavy members is VERY sensitive and will easily crack (underbead) if weld bead placement/sequencing is not controlled. I lost the procedures years ago... but this would give a good place to start if I were assigned to the task. The configuration was a 2" thk. 36" dia. ou...
