So when you tilt the forks forward without a load they will float. We do that when we adjust the fork widths for different size pallets. When there’s weight on the forks it will become stable and not float.

Change to LaYZer tungsten and watch the difference.

It was awesome.

That’s exactly what that greying is. Hot tungsten attracts it and it sticks. Sometimes a simple buffing with scotchbrite and or fine sandpaper will do the trick as long as you take it back to good shiny tungsten. I always light up on a scrap piece before I start with a newly prepped tungsten to burn off any of the impurities caused by the grinding or polishing.

Thank you Michael. Enjoyed the conversation.

Nice.

I wouldn’t say it’s harder, but what it does is teach you how to constantly watch your puddle , feed filler wire and adjust amperage constantly just due to the properties of Aluminum. There are a lot of different things going on at one time. I think it’s advantageous to learn Aluminum even if you don’t do very much of it at a production level. The skill set you will acquire is worth the effort and I feel like it transfers to other material types easily.

Nice.

Absolutely Thanks Martin.

I actually have the polarity backwards in the photo.
