I have a Lincoln Idealarc Tig 250/250 variable voltage AC/DC arc welding power source ( with high frequency stabilization). it's one of the older big red machines From the 90's I can't figure out how to include a picture but anyways And I set it up for Tig welding ,, When it was set up to weld steel and stainless steel it seemed fine,, But once I set everything up for aluminum it is just disastrous.. I have the proper tungsten I have it set to AC,, I mean there's really not much on the control panel where you can't But get it right.. i'm using the foot pedal.. my question is is this machine capable of Tig welding aluminum.. I know a lot of the other newer machines have much more as far as settings go to adjust the Hertz The only AC setting on this machine is just the AC electrode polarity switch ..? Can someone tell me what's missing here or what's going on I would truly appreciate it.. thank you..
