At school........ since I take 1 class a semester....... for the last 3 years or so I have used the same Miller 3 phase Stick machine (except for the TIG classes).......This semester I'm taking API and currently doing 5G.......The root pass is my favorite....... While not perfect yet..... I can stick it in there and just drag that 5P+ all the way around...... now.... I'm not saying I can do it without a helmet while dancing (feldres)........ but..... its a fun pass.....At HOME... however...... using my Precision TIG 185..... I can't run a root to save my life...... I have to go to about 100 amps on the root..... and I stick it constantly........ so much so that I hate my home machine for pipe now.......Any ideas on why my home machine produces such terrible results as compared to my school machine?...... My skills are the same in both places.......Thoughts?.......Precision TIG 185 and MP 210Bobcat 225NTCutmaster 42O/A tanks.... 2 Argon tanks...... 2 C25 TanksFacebook......

Reply:I'm on DCEP and have to run it up to 100 amps to have a chance..... I have a 30 degree bevel with a 3/32 face and 3/32 gap..... I'm using 1/8" 5p+....At school the root takes about 80 amps and I can flat out lean on it if the gap draws close...... I can do it one handed all the way around and just listen to the sound.....At home....... 20 amps hotter...... I can barely get penetration and the "hiss" is not there..... and the rod sticks.......I'm totally stumped.......Very tempted to buy a new Stick machine..... but I think that might be a knee jerk reaction.........Precision TIG 185 and MP 210Bobcat 225NTCutmaster 42O/A tanks.... 2 Argon tanks...... 2 C25 TanksFacebook......

Reply:Want a Dialarc? GravelThe difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.
Reply:Blue kicks Reds a$$.Sorry, had to get the Miller vs Lincoln dig in there.I have no idea how to help you. kidtigger24 They think Im crazy, but I know better. It is not I who am crazy. It is I who am MAD!
Reply:Not familiar with that machine, does it have a 'dig' or arc force option? If so, run it wide open.
Reply:Its that 3phase input. you cant really duplicate that with any single phase machine, Dialarcs would be close. An XMT on single phase would be close also. Or go SA200 gas powered.
Reply:don't sweat it too hard man, it may be the machine.I tried to show how to run 7018 uphill and overhead with a Lincoln tombstone once, didn't work out great for me either.imo, you can tig off a stick machine (travel-speed and fill-rate make up for almost any problem), but sticking off a tig machine (even in stick mode) can get you in some "sticky" situations. . . . . . .ask me how many great stick-welds I have made with my maxstar 150. . . .not many. with a maxstar 200, different story.stick welding may be the simplest in welding processes, but, to make it easy takes a little forethought from whoever designed the circuitry. not that I know from experience, but you may be able to run 7018 through that machine like nobodies business. depends on what the circuitry is optimized for. I believe that is why open root guys love the "sa" machines so much, the circuitry is adjustable. chopper technology is out there too, and miller has their "dig" function.bosses stuff:trailblazer 325maxstar 200my stuff:sa 200fronius transpocket 180100 amp Lincoln w/f97 f350 DITKevin
Reply:Turn it up another 10 or 20. Once you find too hot then start backing it back down. Forget what the readout says and find a spot where the rod burns in as it should.DanManipulator Of Metal
