    Thank you very much for this video. I was struggling with a project until I found your video. I thought I would need helium to weld my aluminum but I couldn't find anyone who would sell it to me. I used these techniques and was able to finally get decent welds on aluminum with my small machine without helium. Thank you!!

    Using a 50/50 argon/helium mix will help with heat also.

    Great stuff! Keep it coming!
    Wish you explained at the start of youre video that you were not only showing a technique on welding heavy gauge aluminium but you were using two different types of filler rod.. 4043 and 5356 on opposite sides! Like i said, great content 👌 and im a 18 year veteran in the welding and fabrication community! From the uk🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 cheers brother

    Can you do a tutorial on tig welding a piece of 1” aluminum plate into a slot on a piece of 2” aluminum plate
    Plates making perpendicular contact (t shape)
    I have a project where every last weld is on 1” thick or more metal that slots together through 1” deep slots

    With your welder being and inverter, are you running it on a 110 std outlet or do you have it in and actual 240 outlet?

    • @amcustomfab

      110 outlet with 12 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker

      @amcustomfab Awesome thank you. So I think I see what the issue is that I'm running into. I need a bigger tungsten and to heat the part up more then.

    Very good. If one reads the max thickness the welder manufacturer states for their machine, that’s for a single pass.

    200AMP is not a big machine but it's certainly not a small machine.
    150amp max is a small machine. ;)
