That cable feedthrough looks like a though one to weld cleanly…
What kind of settings do you use for welding thin steel tubes?
Does the hollow grind created by grinding on the diameter vs the side affect torch performance?
Drew,
The diamond wheel is a 100grit Norton. Grinding on the side of the wheel will create circular lateral paths that will cause arc wander...always want to grind parallel with the length of the tungsten. I load the tungsten in a cordless drill on slow speed and use a steady rest to allow me to create a long taper.
Allard, I guess I'm too old school for "settings", all my steel welding is just straight amperage with foot pedal control, no pulse, ramp up, etc...
