I've found that if I'm wearing my TIG gloves I can hold light pressure on the tungsten with one hand and spin it with the other..........can't do it smoothly with bare hands.

Regarding both ends........To quote one of my past employee's frequent statement "now why didn't I think of that?" :bang:
the way that I F*** em up, they never fit back in the collet. LOL

I just grind all of them and have spares within reach. Be sure to wear a mask with that stuff Scott, tungsten dust is very bad for you.

Greg, what causes the coloration? I noticed when I played with my gas flow (decrease with lense) I started seeing color change not only with Stainless but on chromoly too. Is it from gas cooling? Lack of perhaps?

IIRC, color change relates to the material temperature when it loses shielding gas. I know 4130 turns purple when a bit too hot. You can watch the color "bloom" when shielding gas post-flow ends.

Sorry Vince I didn't see your post --- weird --- sometimes Lat G doesn't send an email with a post in a thread I'm following....



So when you say it changes color --- it depends on what color it's changing to. So the best way to answer is for you to have a reference to go to which shows various bad and good welds -- aluminum - chrome moly - and stainless steel.... so just scroll down and see and compare.

Yeah Vince -- I'm just swamped with work..... I think it took me 3 days to load the refer in the rig to go to Thunderhill this weekend (funny how "work" swells to fill the time allotted to it!).... oh yeah --- then I had to go run a few hundred rounds thru the new Wilson before the trip -- gotta make sure she's ready to run if she's needed.... Oh and then I had to order t shirts from Jody so I'm ready for SEMA....
