I just got a new Thermal Arc 185 tig welder, yeah!. Unfortunately, I'm
completely a beginner with Tig and I'm all set to start learning to Tig
weld, but I seem to be burning up the tungsten so fast I can't do any
welding. I know there is a reason why this is happening. I just don't know
what it is. I would appreciate it if someone could clue me in as to what I
am doing that causes the tungsten to melt so quick.
I can't even begin to learn to Tig weld until I stop blowing through the
tungsten. So, what do I do? Advice on how I should set the machine up for 16
or 18 gauge mild steel would be helpful too. Thanks.
