200dx frequency effect on DC welding

[Rambozo]

So I have tried pulse with 50 50 and its great! I kept blowing holes on 1/16th aluminum without pulse. I did notice however that it cleans a bit much almost doubles the outside radius of the beads. Which setting can I adjust to have less cleaning?

Cleaning is the frosted area outside the bead, not the width of the bead. Cleaning is adjusted with AC balance, lower% = less cleaning and more penetration, higher% = less penetration and more cleaning (this is backwards from many other brands of welders). On AC, the frequency adjustment will give you a more focused arc set it higher to get a narrower bead. Also travel speed has a lot to do with bead width. Pulsing will generally give you a wider bead, as it will slow your travel speed, but as you can see it's great for thin materials or working near an edge.

There's almost no reason why you'd burn through .065 material with the 200DX except for improper technique. A burn through like this would take 50-70 amps at too low of welding speed.

I agree about no reason for blowing holes in .065 but I have a noobish foot management still getting used to the control, right now it seems like I am on foot trigger and its only go and stop, lol. The pulse did however helped time things as I added filler. However I am extremely happy that I manage to put small sheets of 1/16 pieces together, the purpose of me having a tig machine.

Tried fillet welds and it seems to be the toughest thing to do as my arc seems to be dancing all over the place.
