[QUOTE="THEABEXPERTS, post: 240794, member: 7658"] Argon will be here in the morning and then i will hook it up to the Lincoln 180hd and start playing. I'll try to get a vid of the setup and the learning curve. I'm on the professional side my mig and can close a one inch gap in thin gauge sheet metal on the hottest setting (220 welder), as I understand how to control the puddle. However welding aluminum with a mig is completely different. From what I understand the arc melts the wire as it exits the nozzle then spray transfers it to the material and you have to move fairly quickly compared to steel. If Anyone uses one of the spool guns i would sure love some tips! Once i figure out how to lay a solid weld I will gladly help out any Tinboats members in central Texas with their aluminum of steel welding for a nominal fee of One 8oz Redbull and a homemade catfish poorboy sandwich!
