inductance

try turning the inductance up. i like to run it about 80 to 85. lays a hotter flatter bead and seems to cut down on spatter. also for a hotter smother start i set the run in at 40%. also make shure you have process, wire, and all other presets set to your job.

ss wire

i would suggust getting the L Si in the wire, So if 308 L Si, 309 L Si, or 316 L Si, it will run much smother.

price

this is not for just a 3 axis table. it come with water bed,computer, software, shipping, set up and tested on customer site, warrenty, training and more. all options add to 22,000 but i will probably opt out of some of the options.

[jessehornberger]

after working in a lazer shop for about a year and knowing the demand for cutting work out there i am thinking about investing in my own 4x8 table. i am looking at a system from EZ router for around $20,000. I have a spectrum 875 with a hand torch on it now and thinking about using that for my power...

weld

all welds in similar size, made with the same filler , and same joint design should be the same, no matter the process used to make it. Filler is rated by tensile strength, so an er70XXX will have 70,000 lb tensile strength

So true



i to have the black one, and i dont eve think the Miller decail is on it anymore....
also it is not always best to march on a new job with a new helmet, i think the scars on your helmet shows experance in the field. no marks...no experance, and you will...

your problem

solve the problem at the source...dont touch the tip to the workpiece...
but it sounds like your wip is not properaly installed in the machine, so your ground is tracing back to where there would be an "arc gap" and heating up and melting at that point. ...

mig set up

The thinner piece usually defines weld size
.035 wire is a good size for most work in the home shop
as for galvanized it is debatable, grinding still can burn the zinc and release it into the air as zinc oxide, best is to blast it in a closed system cabinet, in...

Why Union?

I graduated with an associate in applied science – welding technology in 2008. And I have been working in non union shops since then making decent money working as much as I want; I do mostly TIG on SS. I am very happy with my job, and wondering what would a union do...

Plasma cutter?

if so there are usualy contact points on the torch to make shure it is on all the way, one could be broken or tips migh not be seated all the way?

over heated

my guess would be that the collet body was over heated and deformed in the torch. if it were me i would use some plyers and un-screw. collet bodys dont last forever due to the heat cycles so you will have to take it out sometime...
