I am doing the same! Just bought the same model for fabricating aluminum awnings. Can’t wait to get started this week with it!!

I am finding that is true! Just got into aluminum after avoiding it for too long.

Is the method of introducing the filler rod more of a light, rapid tapping action or are you submerging the filler rod completely down into the weld pool and pausing for it to melt? It’s hard to discern how that comes together. Just starting out with TIG.

Good stuff !
