I am able to weld okay stick and mig. I'm know set venture into TIG. Good WP20 torch, Miller syncrowave 250 DX shield 100% Argon.
I am older and not as coordinated as 30 years ago and my main problem or two +/- one are as follows:
1)Was told to start with Al I don't know but in my mind it sucks heat to fast for a beginner.
2)Have trouble feeding filler, again back to AL poor choice. Having to feed fast.
I can control my arc okay and tungsten to work distance okay but when I add in filler things start to go sideways.
What would you advise besides lots of torch time (well aware of that)?
Has anyone used the "TigPen" allows you feed only using your index finger to role a wheel advancing the filler, kind like mechanical pencil principal. My thinking remove one variable till I have committed the others to muscle memory.
Thanks
