I have welded an aluminum can back together! I did a lot of 4130 thin wall spaceframe welding too so I was at home at 20 amps using the ck pencil tig torch. I will make a note of your comment. I will be in the market for a syncrowave 250 whenever I can get the time to run the outlet for it.
Aluminum cans aren't easy to accomplish to you'll do fine in real world applications like fixing vehicle components of worn out shit lol. Last place I worked before going to cdl driving so my shoulder hurt less was a huge aluminum repair shop and welded dirty ass trucks outdoors or cattle trailers with ease using syncrowaves. I will say the welders did have some great feature control much more then I ever had in shops and shipyards prior to this last shop. A good ac machine will do all the work for you and machine ment for dc tig but does ac tig will work you to death
Syncrowave certainly made it easy. I couldn't imagine welding dirty aluminum. I guess I was spoiled as I worked in a cleanish lab using new stock. I did learn I love to TIG weld! It's certainly an art.
honestly i perfer lincoln on tig. had my fun with miller but when long hours need be handled lincoln inverters are badass. my lotos i find very consistent and reliable. i ran it wide open for 3 hours 2 weeks ago with no hiccups beyond running off generator and generators not being consistnt voltage so ill add a stabilizer to the system and be tits
heres cool add on for welders like mine https://jattus.com/shop/tig-perfect
