    Hooda,

    You only need about 30%, or a 9-10 oclock position for cleaning. You'll get more penetration that way. Wear ear plugs with the freq maxed out though. lol

    We have talked about the 185 and the I tig 200, as well as the PowerUltra units having start to full amps control only on the pedal before and no max amp control. For 185 amps and the price of the machine, it is one of the small sacrifices you make. Adding, and doing more costs more. In reality 185 amps is not too large of a range to control. Low amp work can be done reliably with the foot pedal fairly well, the rest of it can be done with the torch switch. It isn't going to change without a significant price bump, which we do not want.

    I guess this information it keeps getting missed, or misinterpreted.

    When the unit is in "Pedal" it isn't in 4T. This is another issue I have faced before on several units and is a misunderstanding that has gotten started on other boards about how to operate the unit. If the unit says pedal, then it should be in pedal mode of course to operate the foot pedal. But if it says 2T/4T on the face, of the unit as most of them do, then the foot pedal should only be used while the machine is in 2T mode.
