Your shiddy weldz...

a half fucked up ground will drive you crazy as well

Here is the machine i am working with.
When i started here the last welder they had said it was garbage.
I fixed a loose ground clamp, replaced the torch/whip and adjusted the rollers.

The whip will occasionally loosen enough to not get sheilding gas to the weld if i dont push/wiggle it before i start, or if it moves around a lot.

From what im reading, prep and travel speed (along with wire feed and amperage) could cause what i am seeing. I posted the best weld i have gotten with this thing.

Slower wire speed or more amps causes burn back. More wire or less amps and i get high or cold welds.

 

[Steve300xcw]

Thats one of those, that you can unhook the wire feed box and get another few feet out of it, isnt it?

 

[RunningProblem]

Engnmonkey try the same weld as above with the voltage on 6.
Move the voltage BACK to 7 and move the feed speed to 6.
See if it changes anything. As I said above, the weld you made looked really good. You may need to just slow down and relax just a bit, and using different settings might help dial YOU in. After all, you fixed a lot on the arrow. Now work on the Indian.

I’m no professional. Just a hobby welder.

How many attempts did that take?

Get you some bare uncoated nuts for future un-fuckering

Misspoke
Meant voltage

Meh quick trip to the local hardware to unfuck the truck before the cold weather set in.

Nice!

Built some floatation pods for the Jon boat. I TIGed the pods together( I'm not great at TIG yet but getting better). Used a spool gun to MIG them onto the boat.

Used my Lincoln Squarewave 175 to TIG and used my Lincoln Powermig 210mp to MIG them on to the boat. Surprisingly, the cheap Lincoln spool gun for the 210mp does a pretty good job!

Had a wideband from previous project and figured I’d put it on the kei truck for cv40 tuning purposes. Damn bung is about same size as exhaust pipe.

May I ask why you need them? They look good camo'd

Probbaly so that when he goes from 100MPH to 0MPH to go bass fishing he doesn't swamp when the wake comes back up on the stern

It's a heavy motor hanging off the back, 25" shaft, 15 degree hull, jack plate...I needed to lessen my draft for shallow water. With the jack plate and pods, I might be able to go places that my buddies have no problem getting into with their 5 degree hull/20" shaft motor. But when their bitching that the water is rough, I'll be slicing right through the waves...Bonus is they make a great swim platform

It helps this problem too. Probably lessened my draft by 2-3 inches with the pods.

I identify as a grinder more than a welder

Try using the grinder BEFORE you weld next time. Holy birds nest!

My buddies shop on Friday. This has been receiving some hilarious feed back on Reddit. This was an insurance repair from two weeks ago

In! thanks for the chance.
First 5 minutes ever with a TIG. Theres a LONG way to go. Might start with cleaning my material a little bit.

Start out on fillet welds twice the diameter of the filler rod. Was easier to learn control and speed that way when I was learning.

I have some real crap from when I was learning how to TIG (still learning). Fuck aluminum...never want to touch it again!

I don't mind gluing aluminum with a TIG welder, it is the SS that was a PITA for me, I overheated it too much and there is nothing you can do to fix that at all other then new parts to weld up.

You can not tig rusty stuff. Don't even try.
