I use a linisher to sharpen tips, I prefer the button end, with also allows you to cut tungsten in half, so you spend less time sharping,Get yourself a little jar and sharpen a few at a time, My first was a scratch start, good for beginners but the ark marks get to be a pain to buff when you get better and like showing off the weldsPedal I would turn it off, too much to do at start, and many don't use them, I would in the industry for 20 years this year and none of the welders at my work use them nor the last 8 shops I have worked at, they have either buttons on the gun or nothingKiss method
thats funny, I've never worked at a shop that didn't use a pedal. Id never weld without one, no control over your weld
i manage crews of sanitary welders for the food and beverage industry and have never seen a pedal used by any of them. not practical for the field, only at bench welding. you control the weld by movement speed and knowledge of previous welds that are similar materials and thickness. you should try welding in a pipe rack with a pedal.
Ive been welding for 10 years, I use a pedal, Id never do it without, I know how to control a puddle thanksIve welding on 18 gauge and up stuff
pedal here.. Blaaaahhhhhhhh
Do you weld left Handed?
Is that bench or site workSitting down at bench with a rotator welding pipe would be a breeze with a peddle Try that when your laying on your back welding over head or wedged in-between A matching install or repairing a something, it just doesn't happen, and that's a big resion for use not using them, we have 2 types of welders (no machines people's) normally shop and site, shop welders get about 1/2 the pay compared to site welders, your skill lever is tested a lot more with engineering on the move required so Inturn better pay,
