I have a line on a 200dx for $1300 and with the increased AL welding i have coming my way i thought it would be nice with the settings it has available.

Re: Spoolin performance welding update
AH HAH so turboD is just pretending he can't tig weld at all.
Oh dear god do we really have to do this LoL If you two want to split anus about it you're both inconsistant for opposite reasons.
DC2 - you need to quit being a damn ----- about your filler. your beads are inconsistant because youre using that tiny *** filler and every time you get out of position, or a weld isn't a near straight pipe-pipe joint you have to add more filler, or you start running near the end of your wire. it causes your weld size to be all over the place.
Ball up and use some ------- manly filler. If I threw some dye penitrant on that and blew it up to the same size as his youd have just as many spots non-perfect as TD does. Quit hiding it behind welding wire size LOL. DC2 get a damn cheater lens if you're going to keep doing that small ----. I aint kiddin.
Torch motion (when not being fucked with by not having a straight open joint) excellent.
TD - your torch motion is not nearly as consistant as his when he is running his better beads. Flipside pick the worst weld on your manifold against his best - your entire weld profile from size to filler application is likely going to be better than his.
It's obvious we need to cut you both in half. TD = left side/right brain, DC2 = right side/left brain.
If you want pwetty rainbow welds on 304 and you're not worried about it weld it with 316. ahhhhhh pretty. flows like alcohol and rainbows up via the minute change in amps when you adjust your arc height. dont even need to change the heat manually.
AFA who's the better welder I can't tell you. I CAN tell you that if I drug both of those in with me to an odd-job. DC2's would get me tossed for being all over the place on size & not able to adjust my welding to suit conditions. TD's would be ok. Just because the ripple isn't 100% uniform doesn't mean jack ---- 99% of the time. His weld is uniform to itself, the right width & height - doesn't change.

Now i never have said i am the best welder in the world, but i listen to people when i get feedback and i hope other do the same, only way you can learn.
again i go for consistent welds as it makes the peice look better overall.
again no offence to spoolin but he made a thread in welding fab on HMT, this isn't honda tech where everone will ride your nuts.

Re: Spoolin performance welding update
thanks toysrme, i think you hit the nail on the head.
i still don't get how spoolin get those tight beads on the pipe to pipe. i can't seem to get my "dimes" to lay so close together.
i should post up my flange to pipe welds, give ya something to laugh at. haha there not that bad but there not what i want them to look like.
oh and weir i have been meaning to order more flanges, just been busy

Re: Spoolin performance welding update
ahh, i just switched from using 035-045 to 1/16th on 16g tubing.
idk i now like using a thicker rod then even a few months ago. seems to fill with less effort.
i was thinking of going and taking a tig class again, just to get walking the cup down a bit, or w/e they teach you in a "non-n00b" class.
