Just Y them together. I use this setup all the time, works fine. Since the pressure from the regulators are so far below that of the tanks, I dont see how gas can back flow into a tank. I use a valved Y after my argon flowmeter that I can choose to send argon straight to my tig, or turn that off an...

SS stick rods do not like to be whipped or weaved. That's why your getting a lot of entrapped slag. Thank you. I will keep that in mind. But today I used 6013 for the 3F (not H sorry ;) I think there is always much slag with those rods, plus I had some yet entrapped on the support, I did grind but ...

I will buy a less dark screen , (the actual is numb.11 but not recent )I suppose there are different qualities for those fixed darkening glasses, may I have advantage to buy them from 3M for instance ? Regards That is a good idea. 3M makes good products. A #10 shade is typical for most welding para...

it happened also when welding flatter https://goo.gl/photos/5hnKdDunfgrE9jW36 Slag very thin. I thought not enough angle or too slow (the puddle slips), Are the edges too cold ? (possible when the z motion is too fast) if I lower the amps it gives a better "normal" slag . is the slag on th...

The straight line stuff seems to come with time, as does how you see the work piece. Learning to focus on the pool and control it is important, but once it becomes a foregone conclusion other things come into focus. Then you start seeing the joint, the slag, a corner or turn coming up, etc. and aft...

Also, I wonder if, when you need to put beads along each other. Do you need to see the edge of the precedent bead (*or/and feel the angle of the toe.? Or can a seasoned welder make a straight bead just by feeling the straight line in its muscular memory? I ask that because when I focus on the puddle...

Hello What is the most probable cause of that slag? 1/8 esab 48.00 about 115A I noticed that I need to speed somehow when passed the middle but here I did not. I made small Z keeping the puddle shape and size It happened also when welding flatter https://goo.gl/photos/5hnKdDunfgrE9jW36 Slag very thi...

I am not equiped for bronzing. And to heat at a sufficient temperature also. I did read that it was better to keep the boring(s) open. As the part that cracked can be fragile the holes( if no etancheity problems), are relieving stress so they are considered a security. I did read that on a manual fo...

Hello Thank you for trying to understand me. Yes grey cast iron when hardened by strong heating have much more embedded carbon molecules, I find "pale iron" or wear resisting iron , but also white iron . on the internet. That is a state of the metal . A reversible one but I cannot do that ...

I have another question Is there a difference when using a plasma torch , between pushing, and pulling Some pro just wrote that it is better to push (to avoid melted metal to jump on the electrode I think he said ) The torch is hold straight at 90 degrees is not it ? an angle is created because of t...

Well I have mine hooked up to a 50amp circuit and am using the factory plug and leads on the welder so I hope that is not the problem. I am using the 6010 port for my ground when welding with 6010 as it is meant to. As Poland308 said it is probably not calibrated and for that matter neither am I ha...

Do you mean your looking for a wire diagram or a schematic for a foot control? Hello, that would help, buy it is mostly the wire diagram for a remote control box for a tig welder we have interest in. Control on the AC shape and GAZ post flow . Just a sample so to see how are the controls wired Thos...

SO, no one have such a sketch -electronics of a remote control box) ? My friend need to plan and prototype without having the welder at hand, so any information is welcome He is good with electronics, and that should be relatively simple , a similar mounting than the one on the welder as there is a ...

something I just realized is that when cellulose is included in a rod, that one will be degraded soon when cooking at high temp - about 450F for paper to auto ignite (and I did read that some paper was used for some Lincoln electrodes ) So with all "all positions including descending" elec...

that is amazing that the arc itself is as erased on some videos , so we mostly see the way the metal drip to the puddle.

Hello, the U0 voltage that is necessary for cellulosic rods is I believe 108v (my welder 200A have 2 models, one with 108V - CEL model- and another with 96V UO) After further checking it seem that my welder is giving a particularly high range of voltage, other models are way lower , around 70 80 V i...

The bobcat might be loud but at a lot better frequency than the planishing hammer :mrgreen: Google Ben's Metalshaping or Mechammer for the electric style. A friend of mine has one and it's a very good machine, beats the pneumatic ones every day. If you want to do an easy upgrade of the pneumatic on...

The design of the tool may have an impact on its efficiency I suppose, then the number of accessories ,their size. ..
The pneumatic models are more efficient I suppose, at least for the smallest models ?

I wish I had a shear to and not for the beer since I am underage but just to have one have you considered a plasma cutter at all?

Oh you did not know , that trick from a welder : "to stop shaking , drink 2 beers"

And at first you only need 4 pieces of flat to make a block, and burn on it about 260 rods . 20 hours welding +- Then another one .. etc https://youtu.be/kujfqbxSXT8 The 14' saw is a very good idea . Certainly I will consider one . Good luck PS the trick with the beer works only for a short moment ;)

Thank you Dave, I really misunderstood that one (thinking T was "tension" )

Regards

hello. here are the graphs I had from my provider seem like arc force add a given fixed number of volts, but also more or less amp depending of the regulation Please can you tell me if I read that correctly ? Thank you, sorry for the OT (not totally) You are not reading the graph correctly. Volts (...

I see . I used 150 160A on the block I did 1F ( with the electrodes the size above 1/8) Sure went well. But I had much spatter (as soon the base metal get hot may be ). I noticed how the arc was lively and it was easy to obtain the puddle. Do you think spatter can relate to the block getting too hot...

hello.

Please can you tell me if I read that correctly ?

Thank you, sorry for the OT (not totally)

I am curious , on many inverters, the voltage have no regulation or display. But , is not the arc force function raising the voltage ? The "dig" function have a role or is it only when amp go low ? Regards Dig or arc force raises the amperage when the machine senses the voltage getting lo...
