GaryM,

Get a good puddle started and begin adding filler. If it washes in too quick and spreads out too wide, try dropping back on the pedal a bit and see if the bead comes together nicer. It is technique rather than amperage or input wattage.

What should i run something like this at i think its about 125A with the footpedel.

Well it may be hot, but the ripples (freezr lines) are not all important except for looks. A smoother weld is a better weld if dye penetrant tested as there are no large freeze lines for the dye to hang onto. Good job.

[GaryM]

I was thinking it was about right, I will try to cool it off and have more ripples.

You have to remember that i pick up my first TIG torch April 1 of this year so less then 4 month of TIG welding. The only time I gas welded was in high school.

A Friend of mine came buy and wanted me to TIG weld something. Well we went out to the shop and he pulls out some SS pipe with threads.

I asked him why he wanted to have it welded and he said just wanted it welded. Well he was offering a 12 pack of beer.

This is what it looked like all done and cleaned up a little what you all think.
