Have read of several people that like this control, let us know what you think....

Because they cause cancer? ...

Haven't used one, but my first thought when I saw this (torch) was, it would take awhile to get used to. I think you're right about using it at the bench.

[Ltbadd]

That is probably the answer he is looking for, but his question is about waveforms, not independent amperage adjustment...

[Ltbadd]

How are you cleaning the material? Material that thin should be cleaned on the back side of the joint as well.

If the torch is held too high, or you have too great of a push angle, that will cause your problem.

You didn't mention filler, is this a fusion weld?

...

[Ltbadd]

but at least now you lose them in style ...

[Ltbadd]

Weird, I thought that I was the only one to experience that phenomenon ...

There's certainly some truth to what you're saying, yet there's probably someone who would say their 1970's or 80's vehicle is better then a 2000+ year vehicle. Perhaps it's also a matter of perspective and view point largely influenced by when we were born and the time frame we grew up in.

If used within their amp range and duty cycle I'm sure they would be. Many TIG welders like the CK brand and you won't find a much better torch, but then your skill level (or anyone's) is the most important component to a successful weld.

[Ltbadd]

Perhaps that is your answer......

Jody did a video on welding chrome-moly, and talks about er70-2, still a viable option on thin (1/8" or less) wall tubing. Go to his YT channel and do a search for chrome, it was done about a year ago.
