TIG with Pulse? lethaldriver 07-29-2007

 I am planning to build a tube chassis vehicle and I want to invest in
an AC/DC TIG welding machine.

The thing is, there also is a similar TIG welding machine with a Pulse
feature.

Is this feature necessary?

or do I just buy the AC/DC TIG without the pulse feature?

A pulser is like a Turbo on a car.
Yes, you can drive a non-turbo car anywhere you need to go.
The Turbo just gets you there a little faster, and you have a little
more fun.

Are you trying to understand how a pulser works, or what? You asked if you
should buy it, and Ernie said yes, buy it. You don't need a better answer,
you need a better question!

A pulser lets the average power be the same, but has pulses of higher
power. The pulses heat the pool up so it flows and wets better. But
with the average power the same, you don't get it so hot that you get
holes. It is a really nice thing to have. If you are a super welder,
you can pump the amptrol and get the same effect. But it is hard to
do as quickly and with as much control. So highly recommended for
someone new to welding if they are going to weld things as exhaust
pipes.
