tig welding

[RCP57]

I started out with the exact same welder and it worked great! I moved up to a bigger welder since but kept the Diversion because it is fairly portable. Do you have the foot peddle with it? I never did but now that I have used one for a couple years it sure is nicer if you are welding something where you can stand or sit. I have to admit that i do miss the finger tip control when i am welding something on the floor. It is hard to run the peddle with your knee or elbow when you are in an awkward position. I think the foot control is pretty cheap for these welders so it may not be a bad accessory. What are you doing for gas? Is there a place near by where you are moving that can fill them? It sounds like you have a good start on what you need. My only other suggestion would be to buy more tungsten. I'm not sure if you have more than one size but it might be a good idea to get some smaller diameter ones and the collets needed to hold them in the torch. If you do this get a small cup too.

I am not a welder so my advice isn't from a pro but it may help keep you setup a little longer and be more versatile.

Good luck and enjoy the welder!
