Thread: 250amp tigging

    Default 250amp tigging

    wow if you set the pulse to fast and the pulse amps to 5% then pulse on time to 50% and the the pulse per second to noon. Then fire it up to 250amp...its like a a real life light saber that will cut right tough 3/8 steel...who needs a plasma cutter...I know its not the best thing to do, but I really wanted to kick the tires. Tried to hit the max duty cycle but my fingers started getting a bit to toasty, but the 250 was ready for more. Now on to try it on AC

    Default Good to hear!

    I guess it's a little like getting a new Mustang and flooring it "just to see what she'll do", it's good to hear that it's up to the task. My eminent plans call for a 250EX, because some of the castings I work on require the ability to get that "instant puddle" on heavy aluminum castings, sometimes without the luxury of a pre-heat. Are you running a water-cooler yet?
