I did turn the output as low s it would go to see how low it goes.
The readout goes down to 2 amps..
It's not quiet, but it's not too oud.
I did see one of your videos where you comment on...

I did get three 3/32" tungstens for the original 26 torch as I only have 3/32" collets for it. I'm going to try it with the switch and low speed pulse to, "pace" myself with the pulse and see how...
I just used some short pieces so far. I have to bend them and cut them to make sure they are going to be solid. Once the welds start looking presentable, I can try a bike frame. For now, it's only...
Welding these tubes doesn't seem too bad. Thinner tubes are suppose to be more difficult.
The 0.035" TIG rod is quite a bit thinner than the 1/16" brazing rod I'm used to feeding.
I bought some...
It seems to be working alright.
I had heard that they were quarter turn fittings, but I see now after watching some videos closely, that it looks like quite a few turn farther.
I guess I could...
I got my Power i-TIG 200T going.
The negative dinse connector in the machine seems to have, "normal" fit and everything snugs up in it at around a quarter turn and locks in.
The positive dinse...
Thank you.
I had seen some specs for some simplified machines and some functions would only work in 4T mode.
I didn't see it mentioned in the manual if a certain mode had to be used for certain...
Thank you. That's why I asked, because I didn't remember the details and they may have been from an older unit. I just noticed that some of the details seemed to be missing, but I'll see if i can...
I think it was this machine that somebody from Everlast posted some specs that are not in the manual.
If I remember correctly (and I may not) there is a preset pre-flow of 0.5 sec, there is a...
Great. I haven't bought a helmet yet, but I have been looking at the Miller Classic VSi, which is the only Classic model with X-Mode and the cheapest helmet with X-Mode. I'll check the new Lincoln...
I bought a heavy duty cast bronze / brass work clamp, like the one that comes with the 210 EXT and will replace the stinger with it.
I bought a couple of threaded adapters for the argon quick...
I don't have it yet, but the way I understand it is, it detects the electrical field as soon as the welding current starts, so I don't think it relies on high frequency, but it detects the electrical...
I have a Power Arc i-TIG 200T.
I have no plans to stick weld with it and will only TIG weld.
Doesn't anybody what gauge the stinger and work clamp cables are?
I think I'll get another work...
I did finally find a TIG power sensitivity for that Jackson helmet and it was a low number and that one sale price does look like a good deal for it. The one common complaint about it is about the...
Great. So I take it the X-Mode works whenever the power begins an arc?
Some things I plan to do are really small.
I was thinking to get a number 9 torch, but I might get the mini-size below...
I haven't seen too much negative about the Lincoln helmets. I doubt i'd go with a cheap one. I like the idea of the Miller X-Mode but their helmets seem to have short lives. That one low cost Lincoln...
I have heard at the local welding store that a DOT man sometimes waits on the street, but I'm never sure of the transport requirements. When I had a pick-up, I'd secure the tanks in a rack in the...
I'm still leaning towards a Lincoln 3350, even though it is bit heavy. I don't quite understand all of the inside and outside lens covers. Are they just to protect the lens or do they alter the lens...
I've looked at the Jackson reviews and it seems they might not a great fit for my large head. Larger people seem to like the Lincoln helmets. I do wear reading glasses when I work now and they are 3...
I noticed the low current TIG sensitivity, the mid-range Millers are rated at 5 amps while the mid-range Lincolns are rated for lower current, but Miller does have the X-Mode. For lower current...
I think these, "rebates" repeat themselves every other month or so. I think the Lincoln helmets are made in China, but that's not a bad thing on its own. They do take, "standard" size lenses, but I...
Thanks, I do plan to upgrade when my welding gets good enough for production. Then I'll be busy.
I get acetylene and oxygen from the local welding store. I used to pick it up when I had a truck with a rack in the bed, but I switched to a van and started having the gas delivered.
Are argon...
I see the Lincoln Viking 2450 is TIG sensitive down to 2 amps DC. It has 4 sensors. It's around $200 and there is a $50 rebate, "this month". The, "digital" version is another $40, but i don't know...
Yes, I think will go for a good auto-darkening helmet.
I have glasses and goggles in 3 and 6 for the gas torches.
The 3 is for brazing.
The 6 is supposed to be for gas welding and cutting,...
