Can 2% lanthinated be used on transformer machines ? I have a Miller SD180 .I have some red tungsten,thoriated so that's what I've been using and the green for aluminum .I also have some gold which should be 1.5 lanthinated I seen the video Jody did and was wondering if anyone was using the 2% on their transformer machines.The gold seems to work a little better than the red or maybe it's just me .Thanks

I use 2% on a transformer all the time without problems.

I actually had some in my little plastic tig supply box .It seemed to hold up very good with aluminum while I was doing some aluminum drills .It worked well with steel as well. Gonna be ordering some !
Thanks Jody !

I use 2% Lantanated with my Lincoln Precision TIG 185. Works on steel and aluminum.
