I have this older snap on plasma cutter and for whatever reason it doesn't work. I have cleaned it checked and triple checked fittings and ground I'm at a loss why it won't work. Any help would be really great. Thanks

Hello, I'm new in this forum and this my first topic. I'm trying to TIG weld a structural pipe with unknown composition. It is magnetic and most probably steel or I'm suspecting cast iron, because I'm unable to get a stable puddle. When the arc start it burn the part with black and the puddle is po...

Has anyone changed out the stock torch handle on a Miller Diversion 180? I'd like to replace the current torch w/amp control for a smaller WP 9 with a weldtec whip type gas hose. The reason I want to do this is two fold - one is to make the hose lighter and not roll my wrist when trying to weld and...

I have ordered a CK Worldwide torch/cord and CK Worldwide Dinse Connector adaptor through Jody at the Weldmonger store. I will report back once I receive the order and once I have used the new setup. Man I was over at my buddies yesterday and he has a Lincoln Tig machine with a #9 style flex head t...

Man I just bought a miller diversion 180 Tig machine to learn and I have the same issue. The gas line is cranked hard to the left so I have to hold my torch with it under more pressure then feels comfortable. I had no idea that other lines could create a softer feel and help to make my torch feel li...

MIG or TIG, body panels will distort. As you weld, the patch expands. As you continue to weld and restrict the panel, it shrinks while it cools and then distortion around it and within it comes. Not many ways around it. The best (very experienced body fabricators) will weld on a short stitch, then ...

I was laying some beads on steel without filler as I am just learning and practicing. Then all of a sudden my arc instead of striking down on to the metal it was shooting up the tungsten and into the cup making a crackling noise and it's kinda scary. Any idea why this is happening? Miller diversion ...

So throw the pure tungston away run 2% lanthinated? Is this the reason for the crazy arc? I'm trying to learn still where to buy products. Any tips for good places I have been buying from weldmonger. They are out of stock on some things I want.

Thanks man first to reach out I am super beginner here and today I was trying to practice running some beads across 1/8 steel with no filler and all of a sudden when I tried to start an arc it was shooting up the tungston and in the cup and making that crackling sound like no ground.
