welding preferences

admin

We have four or five lincoln diesel drives at work just curious as to what your preferred method of setting are ? Do u set the main dial say at your lower desired setting and run the fine tuner at the high end or do you put the main at the higher end and fine tune at lower , just curious.
Reply:It depends on whether you want to dig or stack metal and what position you are welding in. What model Lincolns do you have?
Reply:It's simple. Set the machine to where like how the puddle runs. Turn the dials till you get it where you want it.JasonLincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tigThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52Miller Bobcat 250Torchmate CNC tableThermal Arc Hefty 2Ironworkers Local 720
