Quote "I've experimented for hours with the TIG feature but can't get the AMPs setting right. Besides the knob on the machine, I don't see a way to control the amount/force of the arc while tigging. There is no foot pedal attachment. It seems like I either have it turned up too much and blow a hole thru the SS or I have it turned down and barely get it glowing and the filler rod just clumps on top of the SS."
I hat to ask, but are you sharpening the tungsten to a point? Also, what size tungsten are you using? If you are not sharpening your tungsten, you will never be able to control the arc. You should be able to pin point the arc. Usually when the tungsten gets contaminated, or the tip gets burnt, you can no longer control the arc.
