I'm using the R-Tech equivalent of the Everlast TIG 210Ext and am trying to burn Bohler E6010 electrodes. Striking the arc and keeping it lit is a little tricky, but once lit, if I set a drag angle of about 70 degrees I can get the rod to burn, so long as I push it into the workpiece. (Using DC reverse polarity i.e. DC +ve). If I keep the rod perpendicular to the workpiece e.g. root run, vertical up, I just cannot keep the arc lit for any length of time.

I've read that, in general, inverters struggle to run E6010 cellulosic electrodes.

I've tried different settings of arc force/dig as well as hot start but they don't seem to help.

Has anyone tried cellulosic E6010s with the TIG 210 and, if so, are there any tips you can give me?

Many thanks

Martin
