They just can't understand me running 250+ amps tigging. And they call me to bail them out. Unless you are like one "experienced" welder I fitted for. He couldn't seem to figure out why a Lo-Hy 3/32 rod would turn red and melt off before it was all used. He was only at about 135 amps........... Of course I was just a dumb-assed fitter that knew nothing about welding......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Lol. About 95/97 for 3/32 7018 burns good. One can run 100 but splatters a lot. Must admit not a fan of stick. Rather Tig. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'mdonewiththis forum Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 If someone can walk the cup right it is one of the best looking welds period! I have seen guys good enough that today they make their welds red, tomorrow green and the day after yellow........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I use to walk the cup but little now. Mine look just as good free hand. No Bragg just fact. Horizontal welds sag walking cup. Do a lot of heater work and no cup waking in there. Anyway wears ones shoulder out. Way too much work for a bead. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
