tips for custom headers

For future reference, in the reply screen, you'll see a quote bubble looking thing in the grey toolbar. Click that and it'll write the quote code for you. This is a lot easier for posters after you that want to quote you. (Like me)

For clarification, when I say to grind your tungsten at 20º, that is the included angle, and is very sharp. Just 20º from having no grind at all.

If you want to spend less than 2k then you're not going to get a pulser, but I'll explain anyway.

The pulser does just like it sounds: pulses the amperage output. Variables are:

PPS (pulses per second)

Peak time - The time the arc spends at full amperage within one pulse. A percentage.

Background amperage - The amperage output whenever the cycle is not at peak amperage. A percentage.

So my example above would be 50-75 pulses per second. The arc would spend 75% of its time at peak amperage within one pulse cycle, and it would go down to 10% of peak amperage for the remainder of the cycle.

Pulsers are NOT for making welds "pretty". They are for lowering overall heat input, although in some cases they can be used for autogenious (fusion) welds on stainless.
