Questions from a TIG virgin

admin

I'm not new to welding.     I've been arc welding for many years.  MIG welding for at least ten.   I've never paid that much attention to TIG welding that much because I basically couldn't afford a good machine, and my other methods have sufficed thus far.I swung a deal and have a Miller Syncrowave 200 Runner in my not too distant future.  I downloaded the owner's manual.   Looks a lot more intense than 6013's at 130 amps on my Hobart.I think I may be a little intimidated.Does anyone mind if I ask stupid questions?

Reply:I would recomend staying away from ac and all that for a while if is a pain when you are first learning. You should try using the pulser though I found it easyer when I was Learning and now that I do it for a living I never use mine without the pulser. It just makes a nicer weld and helps control the HAZ. Steel Thunder Welding LLC.
