hi guys well , finaly another china tig arrived yesterday , so i thought id have a go , dam things arnt as easy as i thought ,,
why is it when i try to arc the tungsten up it sticks ,, tryed a few settings and more gas flow , but hasnt altered anything
when tiging stainless (as welding a joint together , do i have to use a filler rod as can i the tig pool to melt them together ,
dont laugh but i had a go ,
also noticed it seems to tig better with a smaller size tungsten then a 2.4
bit of info of the regards the tig settings
set to dc ,useing grey 2.4 tungsten, argon gas pressure set to 10 on the gauge, soon as trigger is let off arc instantly stops and gas flows for 5seconds afterwoulds, ampage wise , i use the pedal and turned the tig down to 20 and still seems a little high tbh, thought id add this just incase ive a setting wrong , also notice when i use the grey 2.4 tungsten , they seem to melt in no time and a bobble forms , if i use the thiner tungsten seems fine , as i dont hae to keep sharperning it every few mins
