Re: MIG welding and advice

You will probably only be able to weld up to 1/8 maybe 3/16 inch aluminum plate with that machine. We have a 180 amp Miller TIG welder on campus which can weld a little under 1/4 inch Al. When we have our robots welded, some of our thicker components (1/4 - 1/2 inch) have to be taken to our welders off campus shop with a more powerful machine.
