How can GTAW be legal?

admin

It is way too much fun!!!I just got a bottle for my new Syncrowave 200 yesterday and fired it up. It is awesome! Not like I know what I am doing or anything but this is some fun $hit!The amount of control you have is amazing, just watching the arc form, the puddle form, then solidify back as you play with the peddle and the reaction the metal has in and around the puddle.You guys have been keeping this TIG stuff a secret from us down and dirty MIG weld guys. Sure MIG is easy and fast, but this TIG stuff is the cat's a$$!My $0.02.
Reply:And you know, I thought I was the only person in the world that gets this excited about GTAW welding. Seriously. I probably stick weld 5 times more than I do GTAW and I love that too but there's something extremely cool about this process. I just got done running some this afternoon on a lid I'm making for a tongue box in the front of an HE trailer. Just some steel diamond plate to a frame but I wanted it to have that signature TIG look so I took the time to run it this way.I love it! Glad you do too.Enjoy.E

Reply:I was jassed like that when I tried DC tig on my powcon and foun out how well it worked for a basic scratch start machine.  The arc being so precise and having such a great puddle view do make it a fun process to useLast edited by soutthpaw; 08-14-2011 at 08:08 PM.Tiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250

Reply:It is really, really fun.  MIG is great functionally.  I don't have the skill or money to buy a great MIG welder to do the whole "mig like tig" pretty weld thing, so to me TIG is like using a brush and MIG is like using a can of spray paint.  It truly is fun.
