[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7946066, member: 51054"] I think from memory for aluminium you use zirconated electrodes and stainless thoriated, and as you said keep a grinding wheel specifically for dressing the electrodes, stainless fine with a scratch start, but aluminium must be started with high frequency (so TIG for Aluminium is a far more expensive bit of kit) and a foot pedal helps too to regulate the arc.
