On a basic machine connect the torch to the ground (-) and the ground cable to the positive (+). TIG uses DCSP (straight polarity). Turn on the gas (argon) and set at 15. Trial and error for the amperage setting. That's it. More elaborate machines have a polarity switch. Set this to straight polarity. If it has a high frequency switch set this to START. If it has a foot control it may have a remote setting. Use that. Also set the amperage knob to MAX. Crank open the argon cylinder and set the flow meter for 15 unless you are working in a breeze then set at 25 or so.

Can you tig with 250 dialarc welder?

Yes, you can TIG weld with a Dialarc 250 welder, as it is capable of delivering the necessary amperage for TIG welding. However, you will need to use a suitable TIG torch and gas setup, as the Dialarc is primarily an arc welder. Ensure you have the appropriate gas supply and tungsten electrode for the materials you are welding. Proper setup and technique will help achieve good results.

What welder to use on autobody?

It depends on what you are welding. If you are doing welding on mild steel go with MIG welding; if it is aluminum or stainless steel then use TIG welding. TIG welding gives a nice looking finish. If you just want to get a decent look, then MIG is preferable and easy.

Can you use a mig welder to tig weld?

No Unless you have a newer model welder that is CC & CV, and then they do not do aluminum unless you get into the high end inverter models. Wire welding uses the CV (constant Voltage) and tig is CC (constant current)


Is TIG Welder is also considered as Co2 welder?

No , although Co2 may be used , along with other gasses , a welder using this process is not considered a Co2 welder . TIG stands for tungsten Inert Gas , so the welder is considered / called a TIG Welder.

Welder plugged into household current caused damage to household electronics?

Are you asking? Shouldn't as it should be connected to its own breaker. Unless you are TIG welding with a high frequency current. The computer class at our Voc School had to change rooms as we were TIG welding next door. Did a number on their computers.


What is a combo welder?

A combo welder, also known as a multi-process welder, is a versatile welding machine that can perform multiple welding processes, such as MIG (Metal Inert Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), and stick welding, all in one unit. This type of welder is ideal for various applications and materials, making it suitable for both professional and hobbyist use. Its flexibility and compact design allow users to switch between processes easily, enhancing productivity and efficiency in welding projects.
