Everlast weld calculator

Has anyone noticed that the tig calculator does not output a tungsten diameter?
It gives a filler rod diameter, and some info on tungsten type, but no diameter...

The miller one does.... everything else is = http://www.millerwelds.com/resources...calculator.php

Thanks for the link. However, I was really just pointing it out, so that the everlast crew could look into it. It does not do any good to point customers to a calculator, on their own site, that does not work 100%. I am sure it is just a glitch in the programing.

There is a good reason for that, too many people think their tunsten dia can be used beyond it's amp limits, so to aviod arguements the calculator puts the responsibility on you to have a proper sized tungsten and a proper type of tungsten.

So, if a lot of people are overloading their tungsten, would it not make more sense to include the size. It might serve to help educate the new people, like me, that do not have the experience to "know" the correct size to use.

I have posted this source many times, it's unfortunate that a lot of new people miss it: http://www.ckworldwide.com/technical_specs.pdf

Bottom of page 3 and 4 will help you make the right cup and tungsten dia. the rest of it is good reading on TIG

Hope this helps you, it's a good technical read

Thanks geezer. Again though, I have found and used some of the other sites. It just seems silly for everlast to put up a partially working calculator. Just like sending out a nice machine with a photo copied chinglish users manual, and expecting the user to go back to their website to retrieve an only slightly better version. Overall the service and product is great. But,to the end user, the little things do matter. Small easy fixes for everlast, huge jumps in reputation!
