Post your favorite settings on a 200DX for aluminum?
Can anyone advise what settings to start with on my 200DX to practice on a piece of 1/8" aluminum? I grabbed a piece of flat stock to practice on, and i blew holes in it, and melted my torch nozzle, and the end of my tungsten looks like a golf ball. I have 3/32 Red tungsten, with a WP9 torch. i will start with the torch switch before trying out the pedal. I am looking to find out what settings the brothers recommend for this machine to not blow up the torch, and make a big mess out of the aluminum. I destroyed three nozzles already.
thanks
