    Not using pulse setting. I haven't tried that yet. It is manual. On all of those welds I started on the right and welded <--- way.

    Amperage I believe is 120 or around there. I am using the foot pedal.

    At the end of the weld it looks like I need to add more filler/use the post flow gas setting...

    Thanks!

    Are you using the pulse setting or doing it manually? The ones ome the left start a little hot the get better. What amperage do you have it set at? You need to start it hot then ease off the peddal VS hovering to get the puddle started.

    Not bad otherwise.

    I just learned how to weld aluminum. For all of you guys who are learning, watch youtube! Lots of it! Weldingtipsandtricks has great videos.

    Here are my welds after an hour or so. Material is 1/8" aluminum sanded and cleaned. Tungsten and filler rod are both 3/32.



    Here are my settings. The machine is a powerpro 205 from Everlast.



    It looks like I need more cleaning action. Suggestions?
