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!

👍

Hey Jody. Good video. Those 3/32 7018 rods have gotten me out of a pinch many times. I can remember having to settle for the only other electrodes in my bucket besides those 3/32 7018’s and regretted having forgetten to bring them along!

Looking forward!

I really appreciated this Information about owning a welding business. Starting out can be tough and I am learning from my mistakes and trying to avoid making new ones. I agree about the undercharging. So many times I cave in to a heavily discounted rate because I know the people and times are hard. But I think folks respect you a whole lot more when you don’t give your time and work away for next to free. Thanks for time well spent guys! That one hour probably will save me some future heartburn over pricing. The COGS idea is brilliant!

Wow, this is a really good resource for aluminum welding. Thanks!
