    One thing to try first, get some clean steel turn the machine to DC and get used to the pedal and the switch on the gun with steel on DC you will get a very smooth flowing arc. When you change to aluminum change tungsten

    Try some Gray or Gold Tungsten, If material is new ,Set the machine to amps at 95, Turn frequency to 200hz, Turn AC Balance to 30%, tungsten out 3/8" with long grind point. Gas flow about 15 cfm or 7 lpm on ball type regulator from Everlast.Get one stone setup on your grinder to grind tungsten nothing else. If you contaminate your tungsten use 2 pair of pliers break it off and regrind. Check the settings i did on my vertical up welding test and practice i posted on the forum.
