Is that MIG alum? If it is, your lucky im stuck with a really old TIG welder hehe, but i still love it.

Re: pic: All light originates from the welders arc.
ya it's a MIG aluminum welder
it's pretty tough using it, we only got 2 good beads out of it. everything else pretty much oxidizes on the spot and pops. |

I love MIG welding, TIG welding is slow. But it makes great welds if you can do it well.

Re: pic: All light originates from the welders arc.
I've never heard about aluminum MIG welders working that well. Just go TIG.

Its the over all penetration for aluminum MIG welding kinda poor?
(Then again Im only familiar with Hobart Handlers) |
Re: pic: All light originates from the welders arc.
the penetration is up to 1/8th an inch with the 110v system that we have. It gets the job done.

i'm an amateur photographer, and i think this is a beautiful photo.

Unfortunately our MIG is only set up for steel. It makes me sad.
Oh how I wish we could weld our chassis, instead of those ugly bolts. |

Is there no spool gun is it just out of the picture. I had always thought with aluminum wire, you had to use a remote spool because the weak wire can not push through the line.

We've had problems with the wire breaking off inside of the line, though most of the time it seems to be alright. |

i'am the welder:cool:
I used .030 aluminum wire in the stock lincon electric 120v welder. I was able to get a couple beads but the wire does not want to feed and it splashes. lincon sells a kit to make it spool perfectly, it includes aluminum wire rollers and aluminum wire line sheath to go inside the gun cable to prevent the soft Al wire from binding. you will also need 100% argon gas to weld Al |
