I seem to recall that Jody has some good vids on using 7018 in 3G position. His ones on MIG vertical uphill got me lined out and well prepared for a weld test.

I would tend to agree with you that flush tungsten would create an argon issue; I would add that the argon hasn’t escaped the cup before the arc is established and that could (in potential) be problematic. In theory anyway.

You’ve come to the right place. There’s a great deal of material to learn here from veteran pros!

And too hot for golf. And to cold at home. lol 😂 (Mark Chesnut reference)

Thanks. I’ll give it a go.

I am welding quite a bit on 1/8” wall 6061 aluminum using 3/32 (green) pure tungsten on my PW 325x and have found that the tip balls up really big no matter how far back I expose the tip into the cup. Along with that come some pretty wonky start ups. Should I just switch to the 2% ceriated or is it just in my technique maybe?

One on the bumper too!

Got the WS stickers. Thanks!

Roger wilco brother!

Buying a Primeweld 325X was best equipment decision I’ve made in a long while. Lots of value for the money!
