Right I'll try not to ramble to much and bore everyone but lots of questions .any critique and help will be gratefully received . I finally got the transtig sorted today , downloaded the manuel yesterday had glance at as you do and dived in . I had to make a bit of an adapter for the gas out a both torches I have have got rectus couplers
so it's set up with a ck wp9F standard collet body no7cup and 2.4 tungsten ( type unknown but it was already sharpened both ends )
3mm ali wire brushed I setthe machine fq 50hz bal 65% and 100 amps and these were the results
I know I couldn't wait and a fair bit of heat saturation . I'll have a good read of the tutorial again and a better read of the manual , One big question I do have having used an old kemppi DC machine ( all analogue ) was on the control panel when I tried to set the final current Pressing the button didn't change anything on the display and I'm thinking something isn't right ! From the view on the display I'm presuming the the upslope time is a 1/4 of whatever you set the down slope to ? apart from the FC control every other function appears to work ,well the buttons do . The other thing I think wasn't helping was the table I was welding on ( it's an old makita folding chop saw table ) the ground was on the table but its only thin metal pretty dirty and uneven so maybe a clean off might help . More questions to follow
btw the piece with the four holes already had four drill holes in it
