Re: ARC Welding Aluminum

We used a couple of spool guns in the main weld shop. In the door assembly area we had 4 welders that was "right out of the box". All standard equipment. One of these welders we would change over when needed (aluminum-mild steel) by changing wire and gas. We used same guns and whips.
