First test weld with the new tig welder. Started on the right and couldn't seem to get a pool going, so I started turning up the amps little by little. The left side was done using about 110 amps. Does that sound ok? It sounds high to me, but the me in that statement is comprised of very little knowledge and a whole lotta guessing. Do you just adjust to what works? The metal in the photo is mild steel.

TIG welding with Argon is much cleaner, and consistent than flux core MIG welding.
