[QUOTE="crazymanme2, post: 116748, member: 1634"] I've been welding for 30 + years.I have my own tig welder & paid $400 for it back in 1985.My welder is old school,very simple, with copper coils instead of aluminum like today.To weld aluminum you need high frequency, on continuous, & the flow meter for the argon at about 15 unless your purging something than you need to about double it.Welding aluminum is easy as long as its clean.It takes practice & coordination to be good at welding .I've welded everything from tin boats to helicopters.I've welded on a syncrowave & they are nice but I like things simple,less things to go wrong.To date all I have done to my welder is keep it clean of dust,just like a computer & adjust the points in the high freq.
