In Brad Goodman's video on full penetration aluminum he used a Miller Dynasty that has all the features like waveforms and amplitude settings.
A member commented that he would like to see a similar video using a much simpler machine like the CK MT200.
I used a #5 clear cup (they film better) with around 18cfh
1/16" 2% lanthanated electrode
using the 115v pigtail adapter
AC balance set to 6
AC freq 120hz
set machine amps to 140 and used a foot pedal...actual amps peaked out at 72
This was .063" 6061 aluminum but since it was clamped in a fixture, it took about 10% more amps than without
I got a request from a member to show how to hold the torch, so here's a video on that! Don't forget to leave comments if you have questions. If it's something important, I will likely update an existing part of this course or add a new video altogether. Thanks for being a member. Thanks for the ...
This is part 1 of a new 'Intro to TIG Welding' course. My goal here is to make the best possible intro to TIG course through continual improvements based on your feedback. Leave comments if you have any questions, and we'll add the answers to the course.
*UPDATED 11/22 to show argon tank safety
In episode 2 we cover the different types of torches, how to figure out if you 17, 18, 26 9-20 torch, and what the parts do
