Welder here. Thanks for the video. Informative and inspirational. That machine is great, of course ifor the field of aplications it has been created. Keeping that, you can do wonderful things, imposible for MIG-MAG or even normal TIG. Trust me, you are going to enjoy it. Cheers from Spain.
Ive autogeneously welded 304ss with hot and short pulse settings like shown on pre turbo and post turbo exhaust systems containing pie cuts and have subjected them to some rowdy antilag explosions and never once had a crack in the three years that exhaust has been together. Im with you.
I had one. Found it very interesting at the time and decided to try it. Great for small and thin materials. I follow a channel of a Chinese woman who works in a factory, shows videos of using it to manufacture small metal trinkets and larger jewelry. This method of welding is highly practical for certain applications. For me, my MIG/TIG welder is all I need. I ended up returning it. But I too would highly recommend anyone try this if they think they may need it!
@NOBOX7 2 things 1.Cars chassis are cold welded and in general most of the car body is, with good enginering you can build incredibly strong structures with terrible welds. 2 You can relase part of the stress by baking the parts or in general anneal the area of the weld. You are right there is a different tool for each different job
Right on l.c.9524 , your comment about making a strong structure with bad welds is so correct . And great input about the spot annealing , they do that with very large pieces using heating blankets
@@NOBOX7 Surely for annealing you don't lack the tools😂 I'm not here to teach you how to do your job. But is really an impressive topic strong structures with shittty welds, cars chassis can teach lots of engineering skills.
I don't really get why they'd complain about this, since it seems to be a low power pulse welder, and you can do that mostly on fancy professional machines
Interesting machine ! Question is how does it compare to mig welding when it comes to thin stuff? Another interesting process is laser welding of thin metals but machines have insane price for now. I think people bash it maybe because as you said it its a one trick pony ,compared to mig that can do heavy and thin stuff.
For me the manufacturer quality welds on delicate work are most important , it has to look as good as possible . It is a very nitch machine for sure but man do i have big plans to use it on non structural welds in some of my builds . The welds are beautiful and unfortunately i cant replicate them with tig or mig due ot current skill level . I'm close but maybe 3 years out , also i do alot of electrodes and other delicate welds that my other welders cant touch
Its far better on this material than mig and tig for my skill set . Its a specialized tool yes but its not as worthless as youtube led me to believe . To break the welds you must completely destroy the coupon in most cases , this is not a failed weld , if the structure cant hold up to the destruction test how can we blame the weld ? If the coupon is bent to hell but the weld still held at 120 deg deflection that is not a failed weld . try and shear it of or pull it off and its not happening
Awesome job shedding light and righting wrongs! I'm sure the company appreciates it too

Thanks for the input , im gonna try them on spool tube pie cuts

I Share the same sentiment, if you know how to set it up it should make good welds on thin sheet.
I don't really get why they'd complain about this, since it seems to be a low power pulse welder, and you can do that mostly on fancy professional machines
On the contrary, it's high power very short pulse
@@TheOneAndOnlySame I meant the amount of power it's slurping out of the wall, but yea that is more or less the idea
@@randomconstructions4513 oh yeah I see.
I like what you discovered!
Gas on?
Yes you must use argon , 12 cfm

All you need is to learn to weld properly😅
