I just finished hooking up my new / old welder. Can someone give me some help with some basic settings? I have never used this machine and I have limited experience tig wilding. I have only tiged aluminum at work with the miller there. Power - Gas - Water are all hooked up and working, Med. Tungsten installed and ground to a point. Lincoln Idealarc Tig 300 / 300 Settings it has remote current control on - off ? fine current control 1 - 10 ? DC- AC DC+ ? gas afterflow 1 - 50? soft start on - off ? spark on - off - start only ? spark intensity 1 - 10 ? current range min - low - med - high - max ? would like to burn some 1/8 mild steel tonight. Thanks Greg
if you have a foot pedal you want the remote curent ON set fine current at 5 and move it up or down for steel or bronze you use DC+ for aluminum you use AC gas after flow about 10 soft start on spark Start only for steel on for aluminum spark intensity Start at 5 and move it up or down Med range should handel 1/8 inch. Only switch the current range with the welder turned off.the others you can play with intill you get thr weld you want. Pogo
