Thanks. Nice stuff, but looked more unusual to me from the other angle. After all that, I was expecting your welds to look worse than those. AL will find flaws though. DCEP is correct for AL and most gasless flux core stuff, but DCEN is what you want for MIG'ing steel.

So does that mean I need to switch the cables on my welder when I'm changing from spool gun AL to mig mild steel welding. That could be what's wrong. I didn't change the polarity. I will double check but I believe the I have it set up to run DCEP and you're saying for welding mild steel I need DCEN which means the - goes to the gun and + goes to clamp is how I understand it.. bare with me I'm in 4low

Thanks for the design credit, on the rack. I'll add it to my resume.

I see you finally made a decission on your fenders. Looks good.

Its' all yours, thanks on the fenders, they will probably end up looking like the beer can I'm using for parking brake under my tool box after 1 trip then they'll just be AL inner fenders and eventually package them nicely behind some DOM maybe aloooominiummm

Yep, DCEN means '-' goes to the gun, and '+' goes to the clamp. DCEP is needed on AL to blow the oxide RAT was talking about away. It starts coming back immediately after you clean it, and the melting point is almost 3x as high. Sure wouldn't hurt to check .

Spool guns at work we use normal polarity. they are wired to both welders permanently. They are setup for dual use with 2 tanks, 2 guns. All we do is unplug the trigger plug for the mig gun, plug in the spool gun trigger plug and we are in business.
