Hi,
I use a Lincoln Power Wave 345c
Mig welding Aluminium with 1.2mm wire (5356)

Just wondering if anyone has the same machine and wants to share settings for different to thicknesses and welding positions. (Weld mode, run-in, start, arc control, crater, burnback)

Or if anyone wants, I can give advice on what I use also.

I've got a powerwave C300 at work, havnt done much alum mig with it.

Usually go with the panel settings and they seem alright to me.

I do find with steel though the recommended settings usually seem a tad cold to me.

Curious what you would set for say 3/8 to 3/8
