How much tungsten do ya'll use per year???

admin

I see all those tungsten questions&answers.. I must be doing something wrong but one pack of 3/32  lanthanated lasts about one year for myself...1/16 goes faster but I don't use it so much lately . I'm not a hobby welder, I do it for a living, sometimes many hours a day every day, till I get tired and get in a fight with some boss or engineer  ( I choose the timing so I'm allways right  )--------------------------------------------------------------www.becmotors.nlyup, I quit welding.. joined welder anonymous
Reply:I bought my Syncrowave 200 on 1-6-07.  I bought a 10pk of 3/32 red and a 10pk of 3/32 green at the same time.  I think I have half a piece of each left.  I bought another 10pk of a different type, but haven't even tried them out yet.  I wanted to get rid of my old stock first.EDIT to add.....94 hours on machine.Last edited by Boostinjdm; 02-22-2012 at 04:57 PM.My name's not Jim....

Reply:I run though maybe two sticks per year.  Although probably more than half the welding I do is stick.  Just hobby stuff and farm repairs.Dynasty200DX w/coolmate1MM210MM VintageESAB miniarc161ltsLincoln AC225Victor O/A, Smith AW1ACutmaster 81IR 2475N7.5FPRage3Jancy USA1019" SBAEAD-200LE

Reply:Hard to say.  Typical 40hr week welding stainless all day, I will use up about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of 1/8th regrinding the point.ɹǝʌo ǝɯ lloɹ 'sıɥʇ pɐǝɹ uɐɔ noʎ ɟı
