Im currently doing my Level 2 TIG course and am really struggling. Not blaming the tutor but he isnt very willing to engage in any form of conversation or forthcoming with much help or advice.
Ive just gone over the tutorial on here and for 3mm mild steel the settings are 1.6 filler, 1.6 tungsten and about 80A. I haven't tried these settings yet but will tomorrow. ( this is for a full pen butt joint vertical up)
He has set me up with what he wants me to use which is 2.4 tungsten and 2.4 filler and recommends about 130 -140A - with these settings i am making a complete pigs ear of things - to me the filler seems too big and too many amps?
Can anyone offer any advice please as to the settings as im under a bit of time pressure and havnt produced anything so far anywhere near good enough. I don't like failing at things but im going down that route at the moment.
Thanks
