Ive just got a new tig welder to play with in anticipation of starting on my Pitts fuselage. My setup is as follows:
Unimig razor 200dc pulse welder
#9 flex head torch with gas lens
1.6mm tungsten
Foot pedal
Yet to pick up gas and a flow meter these are still to come. Got a hold of a nice quality helmet and gloves as well for safety.
There doesnt seem to be much on the forum covering TIG settings and consumables. A big help has been Jodys welding tips and tricks page as well as his channel on YouTube, also mr tigs YouTube channel and pithybikes - bike frames are fairly similar so much the same for welding.
With filler rod how many use er70s-2 compared to er80s-d2? Jody recommends the 70 where as Mr. Tig recommends 80 I think Miller and Lincoln also disagree. Id love to see what people are using on their projects! Also how everyone is notching tube. Im planning on using a hole saw mother for larger tubes and doing smaller tubes by hand/Dremel using the online template maker.
Cheers,
Sam
