So this isn't my first post here, i originally posted about a wrong part shipped with my Powertig 185 i just bought. The part should be here Wednesday but i borrowed a torch for the time being.
Anyway this was my first use out of the machine, fusion welded 2 razor blades together.

Thanks, the heat build up was actually starting the arc. Used aluminum angle for backing.

aluminum angle for backing.

I wondered about that. Looks real nice! What settings did you use?

Powertig 185 set at about 15 amps on the panel and used a pedal, 3/32 e3 tungsten sharpened to a point, and a # 7 cup with gas lens
