Hi guys i have just started welding TIG again after a lot of years and was wondering if a few of the guys that do a lot of stainless tig welding on here could give me a few settings to try welding 1.6mm stainless pipe with, just fuseing it at the moment but would like to try a few different pulse settings that the "experts" use to compare how it welds. At the moment i am using 60 peak amps with 20 base amps, 30 pulse width and 30 frequency. The welder i have is a Token tools Alupulse 200D.

Hi Jase i personally don't use pulse settings on Stainless. I am a pipefitter welder by trade (with around 15 years experience) and i would recommend turning your amps down to the 40 amp zone for a kick off mate without using pulse settings just a nice steady hand :thumbsup:

When you get your hand and your eye in you should be able to bump the amps up a lil bit and make your hand speed a bit faster. But for a kick off start a bit colder with slower hand speeds.

Also make sure you are running 14 lpm of gas.

Got a few pics of my work floating around on here to check out :)

Hope this helps

On a separate note has anyone seen or tried these Bandsaws

Looks reasonable quality and the price isn't too bad, wonder whether its on par with the Hafco BS-5S.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
