It does get included in the weld but generally floats to the toes of the weld most times unless the weld gets too hot.

So when you tilt the forks forward without a load they will float. We do that when we adjust the fork widths for different size pallets. When there’s weight on the forks it will become stable and not float.

Change to LaYZer tungsten and watch the difference.

It was awesome.

That’s exactly what that greying is. Hot tungsten attracts it and it sticks. Sometimes a simple buffing with scotchbrite and or fine sandpaper will do the trick as long as you take it back to good shiny tungsten. I always light up on a scrap piece before I start with a newly prepped tungsten to burn off any of the impurities caused by the grinding or polishing.

Thank you Michael. Enjoyed the conversation.

Nice.
