I think you can work with what you have. Get it dialed in without pulse. Then add the pulse feature. Several good YouTube videos out there to show what arc should look like.

Just FYI—Not familiar with that machine or pulse settings. I’d just set your amps/volts close to what the Miller charts say for your material thickness and wire size. Adjust your wire speed lower than you think you need and then try it increase speed until you get that smooth sound with pulse on and...

got the spoolgun all prepped and did a few test runs to get it dialed in.. contact went out or something got good gas flow and post flow working. But drive rollers a no go. Pulled tip and wire out of spoolgun still no roller movement. Installed the regular gun same thing no roller movement. Will see...

That’s kind of what I’m thinking. Spray mode. I’ll run a few test welds and cut see what gives me best penetration. Do y’all think putting slight bevel on the T joints will help? Preheat? Just thinking it through at this point. Job sitting in front of shop right now . Will get the tape out and measu...

I can say the everlast guy I talked to was knowledgeable and steered me away from the pulse set up to the E model said it should do what I need. Hope it works?

Just when I was trying to justify in my mind the HTP, I’ve a aluminum welding job rolling in this evening , to get done in the next week, So with the htp back ordered. Ordered a everlast 200E & a spool gun for now. This job should pay for it. Did I make a mistake??? I guess we will find out! I g...

Oscar, thanks! Yep, out of stock back order! I looked at the htp 220 and read several reviews, looks great! so I don’t need a spool gun to run alum? I’m pretty sure I don’t need all that it’s capable of, at this point. The Thickest alum i mess with is .09” to .125”. But I’m torn between getting what...

I do a little repair on aluminum boats/trailers. Some out of position stuff, mostly for friends. But lately I’ve built some furniture and am enjoying it. So thinking min. Spatter and pretty welds should go well for me. I can tig so that’s always a option. May turn into a small scale side hustle.. My...

Thanks for the info! So with the 210mp off the table! So what are the opinions on Everlast’s PowerMTS 251Si Pulse MIG ? Only have experience with one everlast machine it’s a inverter “lunchbox” that seems to run 3/32 7018 ok. Low duty cycle but got it used on the cheap for a limited use. Not a lot o...

LWS has one in stock and on sale. Counter guy was not sure if it runs pulse MiG. He was pushing me to Miller.
I like the fact of 110/220 power and weight. Want to be able to pulse MiG aluminum. This is a hobby so can’t swing 3k for Miller. Anyone got experience with it?

Hi from south Louisiana. Been lurking decided to join. Got back into welding after several years of letting my shop sit idle. (Family/Kids/work) Was a API inspector in my former career petrochemical world. So, have seen some great welding and some not so great…. Got out of the industry about 20 yrs ...
