Very first try with 200DX

[Buzz]

Well I got to do some welding today, These are my first bird turd passes

[Buzz]

When I first tried to make a pass I kept melting the crap out of the tungsten, I tried and tried to make adjustments and it still just globbed up and melted back the tungsten, I did this about 6 times grinding the tungsten back to a point. I kept looking online and at the owners manual until I realized that I had the torch plugged into the + and the ground clamp plugged into the -. Switched it around and Bingo works fine now.

Hey, those aren't so bad. Better than what my very first tries looked like.

You should now be at that hell-bent addicted stage (if you are like me anyway), where you could just burn hours and hours putting metal on metal.

Keep at it!

My first words are Good Job! For a first try, looks pretty good. The only thing that will improve your skill is SEAT TIME!!. I would suggest that you get some 1/8" pieces of aluminum, in the 8"-10" x 3"-6" range, like at least a half dozen such pieces, and get practicing on aluminum. Your skill level (at least as far as my experience was) is that once you get real comfortable running aluminum, Steel and stainless are a snap!. Keep it up. By the way, have you noticed that once the helmet is down, and the arc is struck, everything else in the world disappears? It's extremely theraputic.

Those look way better than my attempts so far.

I like to see posts showing the 200DX . In case anyone is interested this is actually one of my favourite models. It is actually only recently that you are starting to hear more from users with this welder
