I have one that I'm working on and it is a bitch to weld that's a weak point of mine too thin stainless steel I've been working on it now for 5-6 months... But I'm not letting it get the best of me work on it here and there can't have anything or anyone bothering you while you're in the zone..😊😊
I’m running 25 amp’s with the petal to control it. Gas lens with 1/16 tungsten, I was using 3/32 tungsten but to big for low amps for me here. Glad to hear others are breaking the bends😂. It gets annoying though maybe a little thicker material and it would’ve helped with this cnc design by them. Overall fun little project if you got the time and patience.
I just got this the other day. I didn't know the metal was so thin. And so far every piece I've tried to bend had just broken apart lol. Thanks for this! Now I know I need to go get some smaller tig wire.
Thin metal, tough corner-just lay wire start arc ON filler and it will join the corner smoothly. Something like that I’d use .035 wire. Also I’m interested in your gas flow the cup you are running should leave clean tacks.
Nice I need to finish the one I got .
I feel a little better seeing you had the same experience as I had. Holes blown . Check. Broken tabs. Check. Regroup order thinner wire. Check.
Lol

Nice to see honest welds - good job.
cool video man thinking abt getting one and making it for my dad i know he’d love It
It's an attention getter. I put it on my toolbox at work, and people that never stepped a foot in the shop came in to look at it.

Hey I got one the other day I found if u tack all the bends in the middle or one tack per end of the bend it holds better

Can this be done with flux core mig? Wife got this for me for Father’s Day. Good excuse to buy a tig, maybe??
What size tungsten were you running , seen 24 amps and #12 cup with 30 cfm with .040 filler
