i just bought a dynasty 200dx to learn to tig on. the first thing i built was a cart. i am using .065 1x2" rectangular tubing. 2% thoriated (i believe 3/32"-the middle size-not small, not big) tungsten with same diameter filler. my flow meter is set to about 20 with straight argon. my questions are:
how far should i keep the point out of the collar (#7) when welding on flat.
how often should i have to sharpen the tungsten? it seems like i have to sharpen it about every 3-5 welds approx. 2 inches long. i don't think that i am dipping the tip in the puddle, but i might be, or just too close.
my beads come out looking like my mig beads both in color and quality, i thought it was supposed to be shiny and clean, anybody know why?
in advanced, thanks for the feedback.
