Time to cut them on the saw and see if I can determine penetration. My machine is good for 220.......

Okay -- but a 1/16th Tungsten ISN'T..... it's only good for 150 amps on most charts --- but the Tips and Tricks dude will tell you it's only good to 120. I go with him on this one. (and anything else he says for that matter).

Range on the low side -- 20 amps...


That's DC neg or DCEN as it's called (DC Electrode Negative)

Hey Guys:

When you are purging, are you using a dedicated separate cylinder of argon or have you tapped into the tig argon cylinder? If you have tapped into the tig argon, I would like to see how you did it. If it is dedicated, is there just another regulator? Dont necessarily want to get another set up to purge and occasional stainless tube.

I would think that most of us are just using a single bottle with a tap for a purge line. If you want to you can run a separate gauge etc so that you can control the flow.

Just hit your local welding shop and they can show you some options on how to set this up.

What you really need to do this CORRECTLY ---- is a DUAL FLOW regulator like this --- they're near $300 if you shop.

I like your style. I'll have to remember this. When she starts complaining about spending too much time in the garage you break out "But... but... honey, I'm practicing for you"

Definitely a win-win strategy.
