Struggling with Ali welding

[Richard.]

Sorry mate yes. Here you go. Very good for a very first attempt.
Come back for one of my 4 hour sessions and I'll have a pro out of ya

The results above were achieved in less than an hours arc time fitted in with a sale. I set up the unit had a quick blast myself then passed over the steering wheel. Very little advice or In depth time was given at all. So based on that I think ukR got off to a great start. Should our paths cross for a full on session in the future I'd imagine he'd cover most of my off cuts in lovely stacks of Alu dimes.

Id like to get a torch switch, when I welded up a desk I needed to weld close to the floor and it was a pain with the pedal, I ended up using my knee! to floor the pedal. Anyone know where I can get the connector that connects to the machine? Or is it proprietary? Ive seen a lot of switches on the bay just need the connector.

 

[Richard.]

What torch do you have because they are all different diameters and the switch needs to clip on the body. Rtech will sell you a connector and tell you which 2 pins to use

cheers, its a ck9 fx

Yes a clip on switch for one of those is easy to come by.
