I recently purchased a 250EX and have been enjoying it so far. I have a few questions that I'm sure can be answered by others "in the know".

Is there a "cheat sheet" or can we make one that has ball park settings for different thickness materials? 1/8" aluminum = XXX amps/XX polarity/XX bias/etc.

I been successfully laying a bead on aluminum from 1/8" down to the top of a can. It's not pro quality but thats more to do with my hand finesseness. Anyway I was wondering why when I end my bead even with the pedal released I still have a arc? Im unable to stop the arc completelyetly and end up pulling away the torch that leaves a deep pit in the crater at the end. I'm sure its a simple adjustment somewhere? Also looking at getting a smaller torch? Is the everlast 20 a good one or should I get a weldcraft?
