Those are the two welds my father-in-law says they use to test but I am unsure of the thickness of the aluminum for the test.5th Street Fab wrote:Thanks it doesn't take long to learn I had maybe 10 hours of aluminum experience before I got this job 3 months ago. The test was an outside corner and a t joint on 1/8" aluminum. Just learn to be consistant.

A lot of times its just to see if your trainable. So if they tell you a different way of doing something try it. But until then just sit down and practice practice practice.

Plan to start that as soon as my TIG machine is here. Only bad thing about getting and AHP from what I can see is the waiting on the container to get unpacked and a unit shipped out to you.5th Street Fab wrote:A lot of times its just to see if your trainable.

What model do you have? I ordered the 2017 so thats why I am having to wait a bit. Do they really come with the knockoff CK flex head torch and super flex line? That is something I forgot to save cash to pick up. Would love to get a Flex Loc with 25m line later down the line along with building a 30m ground clamp this way I can let the machine sit in one spot and still weld any were in the basement(someday shop/garage.)5th Street Fab wrote:Haha true.

2016 model it came with a 17 flex head torch. Definitely not a superflex hose. I bought a number 9 superflex ck from usaweld and soon I'll get the s ssc foot pedal. The stock one Works but it isn't the best and it moves around on you unless you make a base for it.

Thanks, I was planning to get flex loc 9 and 17 this way I have some changes in size and then put a CK stubby kit on the 17 to make the cup the 9 size. The SSC pedal is on my wish-list already for Christmas and I don't even have the welder yet.5th Street Fab wrote:2016 model it came with a 17 flex head torch. Definitely not a superflex hose.
