The original setup was done as a favor to surfrjag. He happened to run up on a deal with Willard to trade and took it.

 

DDQ's head is next on the "chopping block".

Since when does preheating something help maintain a "nice stable arc" and control arc wandering or whatever?  I've tig'd plenty of cast alu shit, with preheat and without, and i've never had any issues like that.  In fact, I wouldn't even preheat that head, maybe if it super contaiminated to help pull the shit out of it, thats it.  They aren't that thick.  I guess if you had a Fisher-Price my first tig welder with no balls, preheat might help.  I also wouldn't use any welding supplies made by Forney, like the stainless brush pictured in the first page of this pretty fucking rad thread.
