To Pulse or not to Pulse

admin

How many of you experienced weldors use pulse?  I have read the advertisements of its value but I was wondering how many of you actually use it.  FredThermal Arc 185 TigHTP 200 MigCraftsman O/A1942 Bridgeport Mill12 Ton Hyd PressConsew Walking Foot
Reply:I haven't used the pulser on my TA yet.  I have played with the one on the Lincoln PT-185 while doing some thin stainless at Vo-tech.  I would get the basics down first then make some coupons and give it a go.DennisThermal Arc 185-TSWMillermatic Challenger 172VictorO/AAtlas Craftsman 12 by 24 LatheEsab PCM-875Wholesalem Tool Mill-Drill
Reply:As a beginner I really like it, but I kinda feel like I'm cheating, making my welds look better than I can w/o the pulse. It really helps with getting the timing of the filler rod down, if you set it for a low 1 to 2 hz rate.
Reply:I use fairly often on thin material, rarely, if ever, on thicker material.
