Thank you 👍. I am glad to be able to post again. You're going strong 👌

Excellent. I'm an ex-pressure/X-ray welder, and decided to get my self back into my trade for little projects for my business. Refreshing my knowledge was important to me, but after watching so many not so great welding video's from channels that were obviously not run by experienced welders just drove me nuts. So watching your video was a pleasant surprise. Clear info and most importantly correct info. Only recommendation is to maybe wear a mic so you can be heard better :) That accent is great by the way. Keep up the great work and you have a new subscriber! Oh, and I love that you showed the burn through, even the best welders burn through when using a new machine or process, the key is to learn from it and adjust your parameters accordingly.

Hi Phil, thanks for your kind words I really appreciate it. I'm glad you found the video informative for your refresher. As for the burn through, people only like to show Instagram perfect welds on the internet. But when you are learning a new process we don't always pull off a perfect weld.

Best review on this welder.

right on, dude. good to see you back. it's inspiring me to get some practice time in the garage

@@weldingempire I am getting the welder today and will be using this weekend. What initial setting would you recommend for: 1/8", 14/" and 3/32" aluminum stock using 3/32" 4043 rode? Also what size tungsten? Thanks,

@weldingempire

Жыл бұрын

Hi Tallyman15, A busy weekend then! For aluminum a good rule of thumb is 1 amp per 0.001" of material thickness. So for 1/8th 125 amp as a rough guide and 1/4" 250 amps. That will only be to begin with. once the aluminum heats up you will be backing off a lot. 1/8th I would use a 3/32nd 2% lanthanated (blue) or an E3 (purple) for the 1/4" if the AC balance is down a little lower the 3/32nd tungsten of either sort will be fine. Or step up to a 1/16th. The TIG wire will be all good. Happy welding.

Great video - THANKS! Have you ever been INSIDE the machine and noticed what looks like a blue-colored transformer-looking component around the large positive connector cable (whatever it is, you'll know it immediately when you see it)? I ask because I was inside my 250P looking for any lose wires or connections that might be causing an occasional error code E-4 (which neither the manual nor YW customer support says could show up - Weird). Anyway, all the wires looked solid and well connected, but this little component was mounted a bit crooked (not well aligned with anything), so I aligned it with the big cable it surrounded. The component seems like it may function like those small "chokes" seen externally on other cables for electronic devices, where those are used for blocking high frequencies for whatever (?) reasons. It has a large blue wire connecting it to other blue wires deeper in the machine but the component itself is just losely positioned like a collar over the large black positive cable. Well, I'm sure that is as clear as mud, but any clues? Thanks, even if you are as mystified as I am. Also... Happy New Year and Have a GREAT 2024!

Happy New Year to you too! Thanks for sharing your experience with the welder. It sounds like you've come across a component that could be a type of inductor or choke, commonly used in electrical circuits to block higher frequencies, as you mentioned. It's interesting that it's loosely positioned and not aligned. If it's functioning similarly to the chokes on other cables, it might be there for electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression. However, without seeing it myself, it's hard to be certain. Good job on checking the connections and trying to troubleshoot the E-4 error. Sometimes the simplest fixes can be the most effective. Keep exploring and stay safe while working on your machine. And of course, have a fantastic 2024!

I'll be running the machine again on a couple TIG projects in a few days, so will check to see if anything is wonky or if there are any codes after aligning the choke (let's just call it that for now). One thing I do remember from almost two years ago when I saw the code (been pretty much just using stick only since then - what a waste!) was that I think I was inadvertently stretching the arc length (New to TIG + being dumb) too far from the work, like 1/4 inch or even more; I think maybe that bumps up the power output a lot, so maybe caused the mystery E-4 code. Who knows. I'll check back in to report, whatever I do discover. Thanks and keep up the good work! @@weldingempire

I used it a few times doing hydraulic cylinder repairs to build up ring lands on hydraulic pistons. Similar to this channel, www.youtube.com/@CuttingEdgeEngineering. But that was on an extremely old Hobart TIG Wave 250. I bet they run better on a newer machine.

Mine didnt come with a foot pedal and im trying to get it working with only the button on the torch. Do you have any insight on settings? It will start an arc and then go out shortly after

@weldingempire

Hi Morgan, I think if you are taking your thumb off the button as soon as you press it, that could be 2T. If you are leaving your thumb on the button, then I would say you have the machine set to spot timer. I hope that helps.

Greetings, I have the same machine. I noticed that the little light was NOT on on the top of the three lights on lower far right. This indicates that you have programmed your machine for the foot pedal. I'm wondering how you got good welds without this light on? It tells you to hold down the pedal for 5 seconds and the light comes on...if mine doesn't, I get terrible welds...

Hi, very observant. The camera shot of the settings was not prior to welding so the settings had been changed. I neglected to set the foot pedal.

Combining your new information with the previously refined recommendation, we get the following: "If you're only engaging in TIG welding occasionally, I'd recommend starting with a good entry-level helmet. I've personally used the Yeswelder LYG-M800HP True Color daily for about six months, and it has performed exceptionally well. I've recently received another helmet that I find more user-friendly, especially when it comes to changing the battery and clear lenses. One small issue is that the cable inside the hood requires some adjustment against the helmet, but it's worth noting that this helmet is around $30 cheaper than the Yeswelder. For welding an aluminum engine block, it's advisable to use a 4043 TIG wire. However, be cautious as the block might require heat treating post-welding to alleviate stresses. Welding materials like cast iron or aluminum can be quite challenging. Hence, it's crucial to hone your TIG welding skills before attempting to weld an engine block. For your tungsten needs, Arccaptains' 2.4mm lanthanated tungstens are versatile and suitable for both AC and DC TIG welding, and they are very reasonably priced at just $12. If you're interested in checking out the helmet, here's a link along with a 5% off code: [www.arccaptain.com/products/wolf-design-large-viewing-screen-auto-darkening-welding-helmet-true-color-welding-mask?ref=weldingempire](www.arccaptain.com/products/wolf-design-large-viewing-screen-auto-darkening-welding-helmet-true-color-welding-mask?ref=weldingempire)." This recommendation provides a comprehensive guide on both equipment and welding techniques for beginners and those looking to weld specific materials.

Do you sell any of these locally?

@weldingempire

Жыл бұрын

You can, *but* it has some very big limitations. To the point, it's not really worth it. To get enough heat into the arc you will need a helium and argon gas blend. This is hard to get and super expensive, then depending on the thickness of the material, you may need to pre-heat it. You will most definitely need a foot pedal to modulate the heat. The aluminum will need to be surgically clean because the DC provides no cleaning action. If you are going to be buying a welder for the job specifically maybe a spool gun on a MIG might be a cheaper option instead of an AC/DC TIG. I hope that helps. Not the answer you probably wanted though.
