+Jrod R Thanks for the question. You might need to check the machine you are welding with. For inverter-based machines Tungsten "balling" may be created if you are using pure Tungsten (it is the green-banded Tungsten). This type is not recommended for inverter-based machines (like the Miller Dynasty or Maxstar machine). Instead, we would recommend a 2% Ceriated Tungsten. The cracking you are experiencing may be the result of the base metal and filler material being used -- you may simply need a filler metal with more ductility. Check out the following chart to better match the base and filler metals: www.hobartbrothers.com/download/detail/aluminum_filler_metal_selection_chart/491.html. Hope this helps!
On my 300 DX I can set how many amps the HF uses to start the arc by pressing the HF start button and the Lift Arc buttons while switching the machine on. This setting can be as low as 1 amp. This is different from the Initial Amp setting on the front panel which can go as low as 5 amps. Can you explain the difference? Also, can you explain the 4T for mini logic control?
I have viewed this video a few times and have taken notes on this welder. I am an ornamental aluminum welder. I am using this welder and I am learning a lot from this on how to better my performance at work! I keep getting a balled tungsten so I had to watch the video again. took notes and will try it tomorrow. I also took notes on pulser control. I need my welds to look sweet! people will see them on some of the hand rails we do. otherwise most of the welds are hidden from view. or ground smooth.. so I have to have good penetration!! so I am wondering if the pulser will help. not everything is breaking after they grind it all away but the heat from powder-coating causes the aluminum to warp i guess and some of my shit has cracked. but only a few it's not always! I'm not that bad of a welder. but, if I can be rid of that I'll be good and confident. we also do a lot of outside corner welds so again I took notes on waveshape...
You almost always want to start welding aluminum with a pre balled up looking shape ground tungsten anyway, hence why its balling up on you because it should already be that shape from a fresh start of an aluminum (only aluminum though not an intended tungsten shape grind for any other metals) weld or tack. But yes the electrode type makes a world of difference. Try a pre ball shaped tungsten grind when striking your next arc. It throws a better arc in my humble opinion. RU-vid is one of your best friends when learning almost anything. Good luck mate!
I've found an answer for you, but I'm afraid the explanation isn't possible in this tight space. Please send an email to youtube [at] millerwelds and I'll be glad to share step-by-step tips from the product manager.
long time no comments! Hello Miller, I have a few years into the trade and comfortable in it. S/GMAW. Though I just acquired my first welder. It is a Miller Gold Star 652. I have a pfd of all the features, but upon finding this video I have a concern. I will soon be putting it to work on heavywall aluminum, (I hope.) I say I hope after hearing you say aluminum is AC only. The aluminum parts will be done with tig, will my welder do the job? Thanks in advance!
+anotherpersons namehere Thanks for reaching out and congratulations on your first welder! The Gold Star 652 can do some DC TIG welding at high amperage (>100 A). Aluminum requires the AC TIG process. Unfortunately, the Gold Star 652 is not a fit for AC TIG welding. It is best suited for Stick welding and carbon arc gouging. We recommend a Dynasty or Syncrowave for AC TIG welding or a Millermatic with a spool gun for MIG welding. We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you!
+Miller Welders while I agree with you, I don't have that kind of money. I have been doing some legwork in additional parts...is there some kind of addition I can purchase to add this to my welder?
+anotherpersons namehere Unfortunately, there isn't an addition to the Gold Star 652. You will need a machine with AC Tig capabilities (like the Dynasty or Syncrowave). Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you!
C Davis lincoln makes a cheap ac tig welder, the square wave 200. It's $1,500 and has a very good amperage range. The skill cap or how high the machine can take you is almost limitless. There was a person that's gone to a welding competition on a square wave. Welding tips and tricks did a video on it i think. Esab also has an ac tig for $1,100 but i'd save a bit and go for the lincoln if i were you. Yeah thats right screw you miller for not making affordable ac tig welders.
Why are some welders not available or have different names in Europe? Like the Migmatic 250 (Europe) vs the magmatic 252 (USA) the 250 doesn't even have digital display. The reason I ask is I was looking at a Miller mpi220p Multi process welder but can't find it on your website. It cost €1850 in Europe and as you know that's a lot of cash. Does it have something to do with the tax system??
@Andy205ro Never a great time to get a welder....Just like computers... The Dynasty series are the best out there for welding Alum. can't be beat... Buy what you need...and get what you want...
don t know how you got you mig gun by ul hard to think about my work because always need to think about putting the gun down with starting it up or running wire all over also unsafe ilike the gun on my plaze it has never started up on its own. also the ground clamp on my battery is better than on my miller welder
Thanks for reaching out. The Dynasty 210 provides essential TIG and Stick functions and provides operator-friendly, menu-driven features. The Dynasty 210 DX offers full AC features, including advanced waveforms and wide ranges of balance and frequency.
When does Miller gonna lower there prices in Europe on those tig inverters. also re design a low noise coolmate coolers. Everlast tig machine cost less than €€€ Miller.
+thehegt Tr Thanks for reaching out! These are defined in the Owner's Manual.

Oh i'm sorry i thought you pointed it directly at you face making sure you can smell the acetylene before using the striker to light it off. I make sure that i always have a 4000 degree torch pointed at my face when striking it off.
