Don’t forget to keep your torch cables properly grounded and as short as possible.

Breaking the tungsten can cause splinter fractures, resulting in an erratic arc. Use a cutoff wheel or the edge of a grinding wheel.

If your cup is a size 6 (3/8-inch ID), then your tungsten should not extend beyond 3/8 inch.
