I've watched every video he has, awesome guy. I wish I was friends with him.I just called Miller to ask about my machine. They recommended I weld most aluminum around 7, roughly where the previous owner scratched the "A." I asked them why the machine and instructions would indicate to weld aluminum below 2 and their answer was basically, "I don't know. Just do what works."I think the ultimate point is that even above 2 you have cleaning action. 2 indicating "balanced" means you get roughly 50% E+ and 50% E-. So above 2 doesn't mean no cleaning, it just means less than 50% and the knob isn't proportional. So 0 doesn't mean 100% E+ and 10 doesn't mean 100% E-. 7 could be 20E- / 80E+ and 0 could be 80E- / 20E+ even though 7 is 5 away from 2 and 0 is only 2 away from 2. Since there's no way to know, just do whatever works.No wonder no machines today use a control like this. I wish I would have snapped some pics of the aluminum welds I laid down yesterday. I'm proud of them.
