Burning up the Tungsten, is your gas flowing properly? Coupla times I forgot to turn gas on, I would melt away the Tungsten.

Holy Crap! Fantastic detail. How long did it take to make it?

I've had my Everlast Tig/Stick/Plasma unit for at least 6 yrs now without any issues. Home/hobby use, not production, but still going strong.

Yeah, it might be childish, but seeing the title of this thread "Untreated Nuts", my advice would be see a doctor?

Just make sure you keep the rags you wipe with agood distance away. Seems like you can set them on fire with a single welding spark from 20 feet away. Heck ive even set a pan of gasoline on fire that someone left on my solvent cleaning sink "by accident" from across the shop. Tho that was...

Ok, I got myself a Bobcat 250.  I got myself an AHP tig welder.  NOW, I am getting a mig welder.  I will do so in June. I have taught myself to weld.  I am surprised at the fact that I could.  haha  I had a brain injury in 03.  It feels good to know my mind still works.  ANYWAY, I see the differenc...

Go for it! Start with a good helmet, gloves, and 1/16, or thicker cleaned steel. With no filler, but 15 CFH argon, make horizontal rivers of liquid steel. Tomorrow, you will add basic filler. I buy steel filler so seldom I have to check the designation each time 70S...... I used RG45 for many years...

C'mon now, for those of up here in this continent, ya gotta translate "Dunny Door"

not trying to cheap shot ya, but tig is the hardest to do, especially aluminum. your really jumping in the deep end here. i would switch that welder over to stick welding mode, grab some sticks and go weld beads with that first. Haha, well I'm competitive, stubborn, and I've got nothing but time to...

That makes every cutting and welding job I'll do for the next 50 yrs look like a drop in the bucket.

Sorry, but sure does feed ammo into the 3 import vs 1 USA made purchasing debate. Unfortunately, the manufacturing motto these days is "Planned Obsolescence", the "expired by" date is getting shorter all the time.

Reminds me of a doctor I had, really good, caring, thoughtful doctor, but his bedside manner sucked. In his case, guess he didn't have a way with words? Just sayin'

Franz@ You really are a true cyber bully. I could just imagine what it would be like working with you on a daily basis in a shop, a complete nightmare. A true cancer indeed. On many threads you have been involved in, you seem to be able to turn a productive and informative thread into a childish pl...

Magents will drive you beyond nuts at low current.

Couldn't agree more, magnets mess with Mig when too close to the arc.

Guess there's two ways to look at this. Learn to walk before you run, weld 1/8, 1/4,etc, master that, then weld harder stuff, like razor blades. Or, learn to weld something really hard, like thin razors, if you can master that, thicker metals should be a breeze. But learning on thin stuff won't help...

Good to see another member. Can't say much about tables, I build my own, but as far as the AHP, you will like it. I had to make the same choice, AHP suited my needs, and budget.

Sorry - but without modifying your welder you cannot use a pedal - the one you pictured is as I described - uses 2pins for the switch control & 3pins for the current pot ( just separate plugs ) yours as standard has no external connection or ability to switch over from the panel knob to a pedal...

not sure it will work. Some of the import welders have 2 sockets, and the pedal has 2 wires. Thats what the pedal you are looking at is probably for. How many pins are in the socket on the panel? Also, you need to match the resistance of the pedal to the machine, some require 10k, some 22k, etc. You...

With or without an amp knob makes little difference - only important thing is the resistance range - if you hate the knob undo it & blank the hole either leaving the pot inside & insulated if room or disconnect - BUT the thing I'm wondering is how a pedal is going to connect with only 2pins...

Does anyone make a 2 pin pedal WITHOUT an amp knob? If not is it worth it to use one with a knob or should I just use my torch switch? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Just keep the pedal knob full power, and control amps from the panel. One of my Tig welders needs the pedal knob to control max...
