Yes, even though I’ve had my 210EXT for 8 month or more, I’ve only used it for projects with mild steel, maybe a little stainless too. I mean, I’ve done some practice aluminum beads, but didn’t want to waste much Argon doing practice.

Anyway, a fun little project emerged that I almost defaulted to my mild steel mentality, but instead decided to used some aluminum collars to come up with a much improved motor mounting solution for a surprisingly powerful and well-priced eBike mid-drive system.

I’ll post photos here, and link to a video on it, where it shows me using 210EXT briefly, at about 10-12 minutes in.

Feel free to offer any critique, as I’m not a TIG expert. Most will notice that the AC frequency is at around 200.
