Finally, somebody did a video that put out good information that’s usable for a beginner user of a yeswelder. Their manual is basically nonexistent. How to set it up doesn’t help me what I needed were starting values and adjustments on the machine itself. That’s what you give me. Thank you.

Yeah I watched a lot of videos and experiments a lot. I still have tons to learn but I figured this video would help eliminate some of this frustrating start up curve. Or at least that was the intent.

I started tig welding aluminum..I'm now working at getting better on mild steel....in my opinion. aluminum is easier then steel.. maybe because I started on aluminum....🤔,,,, This is an art to master.. practice practice practice.....I'm useing a Everlast machine...nice set up...wish I got into it sooner...I'm 56 year's old..I should have picked up tig welding years ago...never to late to learn I guess.....👍👍😎💪💯

I agree... TIG is the best. I recently refilled my tank and could not well. I then read the tank and it said, argon nitrogen. The guy messed up. The good thing is, I now know it's not me or the welder. I could not figure out why I couldn't make a nice weld!

I'm a automotive technician,,welding for a long time, trails, railing, automotive repair, dune baggies from scratch. First time tig, just got the tank argon. Haven't tried it yet, figuring out settings, thanks for sharing video,good job. I'm on Maui Hawaii, Rod Nelson

You'll like it. Its just like gas welding with a super hot torch. Mig is faster but you have a lot more control with TIG.Be sure and have the metal clean.

I have been led to believe that amperage should be around 1 amp per thousandth of material thickness. i.e 1/16 " material is 60 amps. 1/8" material is 125 amps. Thanks for showing. Regards from Australia.

Interesting. That sounds about right for 1/8" but maybe not for 1/4". 240 amps seems high for 1/4". Maybe it's an experience thing. Maybe with experience you could move fast enough. I'd say that this setting is based on 100% penetration but if you weld from both sides or cut a v before welding the amps could be much less. I'll have to give this a try and see what happens. Thanks.

Great info winky, you're gettin good at that tig, I use the 250pro on aluminum spool feed it works great. Great video man,keep'um coming..

I'm not an expert but having some idea about settings certainly helps you get started.

It looked to me like you did a better job of not removing the filler rod from tha gas coverage. From what i have seen and read, that's also important for the quality of the weld. I am not a welder, just learning like many others here. Thanks for you posting your video

The reasoning behind your comment is the hot filler rod oxidises if pulled out of the Argon shield.

2% Lanthanum is a good choice for most everything. About sharpening; don’t use something that grinds something else, or the contamination will work it into the tungsten and cause a wandering arc and other problems. Sharpening the tip to an angle depends on how much amperage your using. The higher the amperage, the blunter the tip, and the opposite is true. If you’re welding 16 gauge you want a sharper tip, and if welding something like 20 gauge, you want almost a needle. The bigger the cup size, the more argon you need. For most things a #6 cup is fine and 15CFH is good. A basic understanding of amperage is one amp per 1 thousandths of an inch thickness of material. That works almost exactly up to 1/8”. With thicker metals, use the first idea up to 1/8”, then go about one amp per additional 2 thousandths to 3 thousandths additional. But it depends on the type of weld. So a butt weld uses less, a “T” weld requires more, etc. stainless requires about 10-15% less, while aluminum requires about 15-20% more. Those are starting points, of course. As far as the rods go, don’t use rods that are too thick for thin metal, or too thin for thicker metal. Yeah, it means you need several rod diameters in stock. Your welds got a lot better pretty quickly. Very good.

I have the same welder and it is much better than me , Practice, Practice, Practice !
