I recently setup my stick welder for TIG. I've never TIG welded before, done plenty of Brazing, Stick and MIG.
This is the welder and the AMPS setting I've been using, it's running as DCEN.
Using 100% Argon at 20 cfh, 3/32 Red Tungsten rods, 3/32 filler, using a number 8 cup with the screen has diffuser.
It's a strike to start, no pedal with manual gas valve on torch.
My welds look decent but are very narrow 1/4in. I've been keeping the Tungsten sharp, material clean, torch at a 10-15 deg angle, tip about the thickness of a US quarter away from material.
Any suggestions? I've been watching weld.com and MR. TIG YouTube videos to help home skills.
