  • Hello All, Im new here....

    Hello All,

    My name is Alex and I just bought a new Miller Syncrowave 200 to learn and grow with TIG welding. I have a Lincoln 135 Mig welder that has made me love this hobby as I do. TIG was the next move for me that I had been contemplating for a long time and I've finally made the move. i will always love my Mig welder but the beauty and self-satisfaction of Tig in my opinion is unsurpassed.

    I have been reading on this and other forums for a while now and have seen the wealth of knowledge and expertise that in my opinion is invaluable...and the best part is that its free...we all share this same passion!!!

    I want to learn how to TIG and I know it is a long long long long process. i am willing to wait as I know the rewards are also great. I already have been practicing on aluminum and am pleased with my results which I will post tonite as soon as I get home for my positive critique session.

    I would like to know more about Amps, PPS and Balance settings and how they come into play according to metal thickness, penetration and bead quality.

    I have read here a few different views and would like your opinions if possible.

    As I mentioned I have a Syncro 200, I am using Ceriated, Pure and Lanthanated 3/32 tungstens and my main goal is ALUMINUM welding.

    I also forgot to ask a quick quiestion, when Im starting the bead and the weld puddle on aluminum< i sometimes get this very bright spark that overpowers my lens and i have to stop the arc. What can this be caused by???

    Thanks again for any help!


    Any help in this long love affair will be greatly appreciated!!!

    Cheers

    Alex

    welcome to the site. lots of good advice here but it would realy help to have a book to go over to get the basics. Miller has a good TIG book thats free to download on there site. its also in there student pack wich is a good investment at $25 and if they are still doing it the free jacket is prity nice also and for $.37 (for the stamp) you gotta love it.
    the syncrowave 200 loks like a realy nice upgrade from the sync.180 you should realy like it.
    thanks for the help
    ......or..........
