Reply to "Learning to TIG aluminum"

Welded up an aluminum block yesterday that was 8" wide and an inch thick. Cranked the sob up to 165amps! It was a plate that had broken. I ground a "v" where I was welding to get complete penetration. Clamped it with angle iron to keep it straight. Worked like a charm! We milled it back flat and looks like it was never broke. I never imagined at that kind of current my ears were ringin when I was done from the noise!

Hot D*M% let's weld up some intake manifolds!
