It is only my second day using the TIG welder and I have progressed on from normal beads and lock welds onto to fillet or "T" welds. I spent over an hour and a half today just doing T welds over and over again but I cant seem to get it down very well. When I try and tack the ends, it just ends up burning a hole in the metal. I cant seem to keep the puddle a consistant circle all the way across and I either end up burning a hole or my puddle ends up becoming a deformed small puddle where I can't really add any wire. I try altering the angles of my torch but I still cant seem to get it.
Could it be that my Tungsten is sticking out to far? I am welding steel @ 60 amps. Does anybody have any suggestions or tips to improve my weld? There is something that I am not doing right but I can't figure out what it is.
Thanks,
