    What am I doing wrong?

    If I try using a steel plate on top of the aluminum table, and ground the steel plate versus the aluminum diamond plate, how thick a piece of steel would I need to buy? We do have a local metal salvage yard which I assume can sell me a suitable plate. Buying a one-of even small steel plate from...

    Weld.com Youtube Product Review: Welding with the Canaweld AC/DC 201 Pulse-D Welder

    Yes, for the video TIG training, Dusty at Pacific Arc males it easy so as to not overwhelm us trainees. He has all the basic exercises done using 3/16" thick 3" x 6' 5000 or 6000 series coupons, and minimizes the changes from one exercise to the next. The emphasis seems to be on learning and...

    Phaxtris DID mail that spare torch to me, and I compared it with the torch that came with my brand new Canaweld AC-DC TIG 201 Pulse D welder. They are different. - The one he sent is marked "Thermal Arc". The one I have is marked "CE". - The one he sent is a number 10 size. The one I have is a...

    I have never seen alcohol recommended as the cleaning agent, always either Acetone or Lacquer Thinner. Not sure why. But, I have already boguht the Acetone to try, and so will try Acetone first. Jim G

    What am I doing wrong?

    I always immediately place the cap back on the can, and fully tighten the cap once I have finished my cleaning, before I restart welding! I use a half-sheet of paper towel each time I clean, and dispose of it immediately after cleaning. No used rags laying around! In theory, the paper towel...
