pulse settings

[fdcmiami]

Thanks ... I had been using the Miller calculator but I think the Everlast calculator is probably better to use since it is regarding their machines.

rod, yes there are applications for pulsed aluminum tig, light gauge material, outside corner etc. the thing is you need to know how to weld aluminum to get there because by choosing this path you have introduced new and for the most part, unnecessary variables into the equation.

i would suggest to winky that he hook up his foot pedal, turn the amps to max, find a piece of 3/16ths thick Al, and put it flat on the workbench. then i would, without filler, start working that peddle so that i learned the range i needed to be in to create the puddle. then practice holding the torch at an angle and moving it down the piece watching the puddle forming as you moved. then when i felt comfortable with that i would try it with a filler rod. why people think they are going to pick this up overnight just because they bought a nice welder is beyond me.

as you get comfortable with the heavier material move to a lighter gauge. =
