Re: AL mess with new welder
whats interesting is as I search on you tube and millers site for examples of what a MIG/AL weld should look like, I can find any, lots of instruction, but no examples.
Anybody have any so I know what to expect?

Re: AL mess with new welder
Here is what my gun looks like, tip is .125" below rim of nozzle.
I would say I am holding nozzle at ~45 degrees and tip is ~.5" from work..
