    25 Agron? Should be 100%. Arc force not needed. Sure you do not have the MIG tank on the TIG machine?

    If 25 is gas pressure, lower that. Also can you post pictures of he weld?

    Also frequency is way low. Need about 100-120. Hot start doesn't have anything to do with it either.

    its 100% argon 25 cfh. Ill post a picture after I go back out to the shop and get back to trying to figure out these settings. but I believe that my machine only goes up 100 on the frequency

    In the future, when you get the machine all dialed in for a task you do frequently, you might want to make a habit of saving those settings to one of the memory slots.
    That is one of the main advantages to the digital machines. Of course with the analog machines, you can always just snap a single photo of all the knob settings, where on the digitals, you would have to step through and write them down or record them. You are a little unclear in the wording of your settings, and are missing some. Is the frequency, the AC frequency or the pulse frequency? I suspect the later. That material is thick enough that you can probably shut off the pulser, at least to begin with. That will give you less to adjust and make it much easier to see the effects of your adjustments. Are you using the pedal or torch switch?

    The manual should tell you which settings are for TIG and which for stick, but here are the basics for TIG:

    Start amps, End amps, Upslope, Downslope, Preflow, Postflow, AC frequency, AC balance, 2T/4T, Pedal/Torch, Argon cfh, with pulse add these, Pulse amps, Background amps, Pulse frequency, Pulse on time (duty cycle). Some of these might be named a little different depending on the machine.

    Yes, it could be a max of 100 depending upon the model. But it needs to be set at max then.

    ok I think I got it back up running well. Changes in my settings I'm also using 3/32 5356 filler

    im also pulsing 2T

    2% lanthinated
    100 amps
    15cfh 100% argon
    1 sec pre flow
    7 sec post flow
    5 pulse amps
    1 hot time
    65% arc force
    100 frequency
    +5 cleaning balance
    advanced square
    0 up slope
    0 down slope
    100 Start amps

    all the weld runs that are in the picture are from me adjusting all the settings. I found a happy medium. to get a brighter weld I was trying to use more cleaning action but maybe its the filler I'm using. I was going to try 4043 next
