[shrop3]

Hello everyone.

I am new here and my new Power Tig 200 DX arrived today. I am very new to Tig welding actually never Tig Welded before.

I have been using a small 110v Mig for around 15 yrs and welded everything a hobbyist could weld.

My sons And I are currently rebuilding a 73 Nova and making several custom changes to the car and thought a good Tig would come in handy.

I Would like some goo feed back on the basics of setting up my machine or a good Tig welding for dumbies LOL . I am a little disappointed the instructions didn't have some basic settings in them.

Jody has some great videos and show the settings on most.

Or you can post here and get a response pretty quick. Worse case, just call in and pick tech support.

Best thing might be, google "TIG welding setting for metal" or something like that and find a chart, print it and keep near the unit. Note that one size does not fit all, but they will get you close.

When we get calls we tell the person the settings and what they do, but they are generally setting we use ourselves/ballpark. The speed you move can require a little tweak here and there.
