Re: Reversing polarity for thin metal? (f22beast)

I've never heard of it doing that, but since it only takes ~5min. to do it, why not try it?

I have the 140 w/o autoset - it's really only a noob function. Since you have 220, go for the 180 - in welding, you can never have too much power

use a thinner wire and a high feed speed (the wire acts as a heat sink with regards to wire speed; faster = colder)

next time practice before building something that can kill you

that's the idea with AL - to keep the heat in front. When it drags, it overheats. Instead of moving faster to keep the heat under control, turn up the feed speed (wire = heat sink, more wire = more...

don't listen to the bead talk - it looks pretty good but pic 2 looks a bit hot - more wire feed will act as more heat sink which will allow more heat or less penetration - adjust as necessary
