Are there specs for minimum activation amps for light TIG welding?

Reading from my manual on AH5-350 it is suitable for all Arc welding such as MIG MAG TIG SMAW Plassma Arc and Carbon Arc. L Queen

Most welding helmets suggest at least 20 amps for light tig welding to activate the helmets. In SOME cases, Some dc tig welding scenarios (with inverter machines) will NOT trigger auto helmets properly no matter what the amperage for some reason.

When i use this hood on its lowest setting or highest sensitivity a simple light bulb will cause it to darken so i think you will be clear for tig

30A maximum. Specifically: 6600 Watts 30 A resistive, 5500VA 25 A inductive, 5540 Watts 20 A @ 277 VAC Ballast, 4400 Watts 20 A Tungsten, 1 1/2 HP @ 120 VAC motor, 3 HP @ 220 VAC motor. I uploaded a customer image of the inside information label that provides that information.

Haven't a clue, but from other spool gun welder combos, I'd say that if you can match whatever the drive motor voltage is and figure out the plug pins for the feed/gas and welding current on/off are, then you can probably use it with most anything that can provide those requirements. I'd also say that while this is a handy little spool gun and works well with it's Hot Max mate, I think I'd go with something a bit more husky if I was planning to do a cross over of some type like you are asking about. I can say I'm very pleased with the Hot Max & spool gun combo I went with --it all just works. Hope that helps you, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The specs for input are 230v and 60amps. Your.generator's breaker will trip before you get any serious welding done.

With the dial turned all the way up the read out says 50 amp. The Tig does not weld aluminum very good for that reason wished I had bought an Everlast.

I run mine on a dedicated 20 amp breaker. So nothing else is running while I'm welding and have had no problems.

http://www.everlastgenerators.com/Brouchers/Power-Tig-250-EX.pdf According to the above data sheet, the tig will operate at 65% duty cycle, 250A. The stick is going to be less than half that. I purchased this welder for my brother-in-law so I don't have real life experience backing the specs up.

Recommend look at the "Thermadyne W1003203 95 Amp TIG/Stick Welding System" on amazon. About a $100 more but has most of the things you will need except the Argon bottle.

Only with arc welding rod. Not tig. To tig weld aluminum you need ac current. This is a DC machine. As long as you buy some aluminum welding rod it should work.

Wire is rated 30 amps. Are you using for welder supply power, or for welding leads? For supply, the welder must have an input rating of 30 amps or less. This wire is not suitable for use as welding leads.

16ga is the minimum, but I would use 12ga. Make sure to use Oxygen free copper cable, the cheap stuff is copper clad aluminum. Remember that this is a dual voice coil speaker, so you will run both coils of a single speaker in parallel making the speaker connection 2 ohms to each output of the amp.

What type & dia. stick rods are you welding with? The smaller 6010/ 6011 X 3/32" dia., usually burns hot BUT the riostat should still work to some degree but cause a much colder start whereby making it harder to keep an arc. Welding on thin metal will also appear to make turning down the amps not very effective. Try welding on 1/4" - 1/2" & adjust the amps up & down...if you still don't see any difference, then your amp adjustment is defective. I have no problems with my welder and am very happy this its performance. Thanks!

no you need a elctric welder with a shielded gas arc..tig welder Tungsten Inert Gas welder...special machine...metal has to be meticulously clean when welded with a stainless steel brush

it will run 1/8 7018 stick electrode.it will also run a tig torch with 1/16 electrode .as a scratch arc. won't run alum. not enough amperage.

If you are running with 220v input voltage you should be OK. For 1/8" material your amperage should be close to the 60% duty cycle rating or about 5-6 min of continuous welding which should be adequate for 20" weld length. If your time in-between welds is short however, that could be an issue over a long time of continuous welding. I assume there will be some repositioning and other breaks which will increase the welder rest time. I typically do not weld more than 4-8 in. at a time but have never had any duty cycle issues. If you are using the 110v input you could run into problems with duty cycle as you are highly stressing the machine running 20" beads. If you are running with 220v input voltage you should be OK.

Should work great for MIG. I use mine for both MIG and TIG and I have no complaints. I have about 20 hours use on it with no problems. Very simple to use and comes with easy to understand instructions on how to adjust it. I'd highly recommend it for a beginner. I've been welding for 15 years and wish that I'd gotten one sooner. Dave

Seems to me you'd want more than 45 watts. (I actually thought torches were used for stained glass, until I started shopping for a soldering iron.)
