Im doing 140 miles a day and it sucks...I thought about getting a room but my partner has little ones to care for. I used to like going out of town when I was younger but I watched a TV spe...

Re: TIG Welder or Still a Loser?

Another thing that can affect how fast it feels like your arc is having effect. Is if your tungsten is getting crapped up. Even if your not dipping it keep an eye on if your tungsten is discoloring. If so it could be from contaminated metal or poor gas coverage. Your definitely making progress. I a...

Re: TIG Welder or Still a Loser?

Chips...there is nothing magic about tig welding so please don't think of yourself as a loser if you don't make beautiful welds yet. One day you will fire on all cylinders and tig welding will click in your head and you'll wonder what all the fuss is about. I'm very impressed with your progress and ...

Re: Review for TIG Button hand amptrol for HTP Invertig 221

Interesting. So is that a flexible rubber membrane of sorts, with the button underneath it? or is that the actual button? Does it flex? Feels hard to me. That's why I thought it was a plastic cover. It could be rubber I guess but once I connect it to my welder I will get a better feel for how it wo...
