Hi guys, on a roll starting threads at the minute!
Has anyone got any experience of welding thin aluminium (1~1.2mm) on one of these machines? The issue is on start up, it's like the welder starts with a big surge of current and instantly blows a hole in the thin material. I can start the arc on a piece of heavier scrap and drag it over to then weld the thin piece, so it's that initial surge on start up is my issue, anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance!
