Hi,
I have been looking at specifications of some commercial dc inverter welders like Lincoln invertec 275 or Miller CST 280 and notice that the welding voltage is somewhere around 28 and for the tig specific machines it is more like 14.
I was wondering if anyone here would know if there really is any difference in the characteristics. I like the big fat electrodes like 7024 or 7018 in flat position as much as possible or tig for small stuff or when I really hate splatter which is quite often besides I have hundreds of pounds of steel tig wire. I currently have a Murex transformer welder which I was told by the welder repair place where I once got a after flow relay it was an airco re branded. As best as I can tell it says welding voltage of 40 volts on the back. I really can't tell the difference from medium range and big dial lower Vs high range with big dial lower. Generally there is supposed to be some difference at least for the dc generator type. I don't intend on getting rid of my dinosaur but want something for another location. Don't need any solenoids intend on using an argon water shut off to hang the torch on.
Thanks
