Lift TIG Issues

[Erie Fred]

simple answer VeVor = JUNK

I bought a supposed 80 amp plasma cutter, never worked, parts fell out of the case, right back for refund.
Why not try another one ? I looked around inside and could easily see that no way was
this going to put out 80 amps, let alone 40.

1. Lift Tig - put tungsten on work piece lift it for arc ignition

2. Scratch start - wave filler wire at work piece and tungsten and create the arc ignition

3. HF start - press button on torch and noise starts and ignition happens.


I have two TIG sets that will do lift and I like it...

I’ve used the lift start years ago, it was surprisingly simple and effective. My r-rech tig has the button start, which I find waves the tungsten around a bit when the button is pressed, by my cack handed grip. A foot pedal/switch might be my answer.

If I can offer some advice, try resting the ceramic where ever possible, it makes a huge difference when button presses are required. Apologies if you do this anyway.

Not tried that yet, I shall have a go. Thanks.
