What do you mean Choco?What about gently scapping the tungsten of clean alloy before you light up.
All it does mate on his machine is give the tungsten a split second of DCEP on strike up.No idea how it works tbh.
You do not need to do that with my Stahlwerk so it is not a Stahlwerk thing.Ya Richard, I always scrape the tungsten before I light up it helps with the stahlwerk anyway.
Strange. I've never done that. Scratch the tungsten on the job. What does it do then?I always do too, force of habit from my syncrowave days. Same as bumping the pedal to get pre flow.
Typical of a synchrowave then Hugh?Strange. I've never done that. Scratch the tungsten on the job. What does it do then?
In my mind particularly if the tungsten is sharpened up like a dart there is the possibility a small piece can break off?? Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that defeat the object slightly with using contactless ignition??
Hi dazza,
Yes that will be the adaptor you need for an air cooled torch with ⅜ fitting on the end.
Try and get hold of some 2% Lanthanated. Blue is the usual colour.
That collet looks pretty twisted up. Get onto Jim Davey he will be able to sort out everything you need. If you're new torch is a 9/20 style, he can do you the brass wedge collets. If it's 17/26 try and get decent consumables like binzel or ck. parweld aren't too bad but there is a difference.
Should work fine if your cooler also has ⅜ connections, check with the seller.I need an adaptor for a water cooled torch.
I'm inpatient so i may try and pic up the tungstens locally. They may not have 2% Lanthanated what other flavours could i get?
