i was flipping through my manual yesterday and realized there are more settings than i had thought.

what im wanting to know, is for the owners who have played with theirs a lot, can you please list the balance, dig ad whatever else settings yove changed, and why, and how you like it, what does it do for you etc.

thanks

bump for some answers.... i'm also looking for some base settings to get me started... not to thread jack

 

yeah not really looking for basesettings myself, that can be answered too for him thats fine, but i want to know more like what does the balance and pulse settings get you in terms of quality etc.

thanks

i played around with a few settings today, and the pulse is pretty cool

im wondering how i can utilize it best though, so if anyone has any experience with it please let me know what you do, and use it for.

i also tried balance at 50%, 25, and 75% and 50 made the best welds on aluminum. just wondering when you would stray away from 50%?

thanks

 

For the pulser...i use it for my cap pass.

i run like 20/80 for time setting hi/low and do 20% on my low setting. I did have at 1ppm but now I do .5ppm (schedule 10) for 16 gauge i do like .2ppm. this really depends on how fast you can move your hands.

For balance.... i typically keep it high on the clean side... IIRC 10 is full penetration and 1 is full clean (well not full...but def major) I would run 1-2 towards full clean always. so 6-7 if 10 is full clean or 3-4 is 1 is full clean. i havent welded ac in a while :-P

For stainless i set my post purge at 5 seconds.
