You probably already know this -- but DO NOT ball the tungsten for aluminum.

I run into this all the time with newb TIG welders... and without looking up your model -- IF it's an INVERTER style machine - you don't ball the tungsten when using them. Sharpen and knock the sharp point off...

I use the CERIATED tungsten now with my inverter type TIG not the pure (green end).
