Reply:50amps is a little low but it looks good. Next time try to get the weld started closer to the edge of the steel, you can see a little that isn't welded.  I'm glad to see you and some of the other guys new to tig actually cleaning the steel before welding. Guess everyone telling the new guys to grind off the millscale is starting to sink in Airco Ac/Dc 300 HeliwelderMillerMatic 200 (stolen)Miller Maxstar 150STLMiller AEAD200LE (welding and generating power) Hobart MIG
