Thanks for asking Wes and thanks for the info Greg!

TIG is very challenging in a good way. Beside requiring a lot of basic knowledge education it appears to require a LOT of seat time. My argon bottle isn't going to last too long.

Regarding helmets, my cheapie goes down to 9 but on it's scale something around 7-8 would be an improvement. I see an Optrel or comparable in the future.

I've also noticed you can't put too good a grind on the tungsten, it definitely impacts the arc shape and performance. Maybe I can get a package deal on a helmet and grinder.

Wish I had a Surgar Momma to support my perfectionist traits.............

Yes Greg YOU told me so........
