I got my 186i DC tig welder
from Weldquip yesterday.
Just picked my argon up and away i went I have never used tig before last time i used Gas was over 20 years ago. So here are my first efforts
the metal is about 1.8mm
Amps set at 60 gas flow 8lpm slope down about 3 ses post flow about 5 sec using grey tip 2.4 tungsten electrodes .My movements are not smooth but that will come in time.I am more than happy with the welder.So
another very happy customer of Weldquips( there is a pint here waiting for you )
As for gas i just got a min bottle from Energas which cost me £46 inc vat in total they charged £31 for the gas and £15 for 3 months rental after that they charge £5 amonth rental by dircect debit and refill is only £27 no service charge whic is not bad as i can pick up new bottles on way to work.I have no connection to energas jus t found them very helpfull.
I got some grey tip electrodes from them just cost me £31 for a pack of 10 2.4mm so i might go else where for my tips in future. saying that I am a happy chappy today.
