Reply:I got some lousy consumables off of eBay. I stick with CK gas lenses and collets now. They're cheap from weld fabulous. I couldn't get a clean puddle with the junk gas lenses no matter what flow rate I ran. The whole batch of five. Went back to a weldcraft one that I gunked up, and even that was better than the junk ones.

Reply:I haven't had any issues with welding city consumables.  But then again, if you're doing roll cages, something tells me you should already have high quality consumables... 1st on WeldingWeb to have a scrolling sig!

Reply:I use a 9 or 20 size torch a small gas lens and the  #8 cups from riverweld on ebay (china). I weld tight stainless exhaust merges every day and stick the tungsten out over an inch when I'm way down in the merge and I don't get any graying.Welding/Fab Pics: www.UtahWeld.com
Reply:What kind of pressures are you running to get coverage that way?
Reply:I buy most of my tig parts through weldingcity.com as well. I have never had a problem with their parts. However, the only problem I have ever had with tig parts was when a the tapered opening on a #8 med size gas lens cup popped off while I was welding a couple months ago. I am pretty sure the gas lens and cup were from Airgas. No other problems that I can think of....Lincoln pro mig 180Lincoln Square Wave Tig 300/wp 20/home built water cooler Victor, Purox, Harris, O/A welding/cutting setupsVintage Craftsman drill pressVintage Craftsman/Atlas 12"x 36'' lathe7''x 12'' w/c band saw Everlast 140 st
