Great information and explanation. I really appreciate it more than you know. I enjoy this a lot. Hope I can get good at it.

Also is it the opposite of pipe welding as far as wanting a key hole. Am I running too hot if there is a key hole forming. I remember watching a lot of vids when I was teaching myself to stick weld pipe. I feel like I heard in a video that you don’t want a key hole if your tig welding aluminum? Not ...

Thank you for taking the time to help me i appreciate it. I feel like I’m learning a little already. Should my bead cover the outside of the material as well or no because of where the joint was?

Need to pic up some thicker aluminum next week. Tried again. Switched to a stubby gas setup. 8 cup. Def better. Now I see what you mean about once the material heats up. Had it on about 90 amps. Here’s a pic of the little bit I tried. Was short for time but wanted to do something at a minimum each day

Also what happens if the cfm is too high on the gas.

Got some 3/32 rod today 4043. Having a really difficult time trying to make beads. Not sure if it’s because it heats up so quick on practice metal or what.

Sounds great thank you. My 3/32 rod should be arriving tomorrow

I meant to ask what size filler wire should I use with the 3/32

Thank you brother I appreciate it

Forgot to add pics of weld

I have never had an issue. Started and ran beautiful and operated good. This time I had it on DC+ on the 250 ...

Hey guys hoping you guys can help me.

Hey guys I purchased a 50fter last year and still have it in the box.
