hmmm pulse. This is a big problem for me. I want to try using the pulse settings more on my 225lx but I have a seizure disorder. although fully controlled with medication, pulsing lights like at higher frequency get very uncomfortable (like nails on a chalk board for some people) and could trigger a seizure. It's not likely to happen but like so many other things in tig welding, if you are not comfortable while you are welding it shows in your results! I have a 10"x12" 1/8" thick aluminum plate I practiced on and ther was a huge difference in the ease of running a bead on it when it got warm.
