    Pulse works best really low around 1 pps or over 33 pps with the pulse on bring the power up and drop it back without pulse ... according to Judy from weldingtipsand tricks.com.

    Pulse really works best where ever you find it to work best for you. It's not a hard and fast rule. People who are prone to epilepsy are affected by certain frequencies of flashing light. It can make some people nauseous and others disoriented.

    Alcooaid, you want some cratering. That's called penetration. If you get that, then you add more filler.

    Good to know! Thanks for the tips guys.

    Where the magic happens


    First time tigging on AC. Any feedback?

    This is 1/16" angle on 1/8" aluminum bar. Think I had it at 110 amps. Frequency is ~110 and AC balance was at 65% I think.

    Are you sure about the balance? You should be about 30%. 65% would ball up your tungsten pretty good. Everlast has a reversed balance control from most other welders.
    Long arc, short arc, heliarc and in-the-dark!

    Omg! that would make sense now. I was wondering why my tungsten was starting to ball up. Was just going to post a picture of it. Didn't know it was reversed. Will play again tonight
