well i havent really had time to mess with it over the past few month. only the 4th or fith time ive used the damn thing since i got it... its a miller 200dx stainless tubing and 308l filler rod amps were at like 58. let me know what you think and some improvements i need to make

 

is that 16 gauge tube ?? welds look cold with poor gas coverage ,

 

very nice , maybe in a few weeks you can make me a manifold

 

I wish I could weld

 

was that a butt joint ?? or where you just laying some beads down ??

 

i just took a pipe ane cut a section off and welded it back on

 

for them kind of welds you can , purge the tube and do a fusion weld , you only need about 35-40 amps to do so , just keep at it , also what size tungsten and filler rod ???

 

3/32 green 1/16 308l filler

 

I would use 1/16" red and put a realy nice sharp point on it , also try some thinner filler for the thinner tube like .045 308l stuff works realy nice

 

yeah tony told me try some .035 so ill pick that up at the store tomorrow along with some more tungsten.... i still need to get a foot pedal. i got the finger control and am nit really liking it to much

 

O yeah finger controll would be nice for cages and such but , yeah you will do much better with the foot controll

 

nice looks like fun. Sorry if im wrong but green tungsten is pure tungsten correct? If so I thought this was used mainly on alluminum. We usually use ceriated (sp?) tungsten on stainless steel. Anyways looks good keep us posted, id love to get a chance to weld some piping, all im doing is boring lap joints and t joints

 

yeahhhhh brett!

 

like deryck says... now u can make me a manifold

 

post some pics of today

 

a little bit of what i did today dont mind the stuff on the left side of the pipe and flange thats from afew days ago.

 

tungsten is contaminated
