Here my husband and I set watching this video. Neither of us have ever welded anything!! We so enjoy Tay and his explanations. The Arc3 guy and Tay did an excellent explaining even to the lay person. Keep up the great work! ❤

Looks like your first premiere generated strong interest: - Pragmatic information for aluminum production welders, particularly in automotive applications - Broad visions for small shops - Perspective and fun for novices and everyone else Score!

In my 4th year of sheet metal at the polytechnic in Edmonton I got to play with a spool gun on 1/8 aluminum, was blown away how nice and easy it was, compared to my aluminum tig skills at the time, but haven't touched one in 15 years now.. Might get. One for home

Welding aluminum with MIG takes me back to my houseboat factory days of the late 90's and early 2000's. Miller cabinets and Cobramatic push/pull guns. I know we welded many many miles worth of beads. The trick and what the customers were expecting was the TIG stacked dime look to the welds. A little bit of technique is involved and timing but once you have it down it's simple. I haven't ran a bead of aluminum wire in several years so I know I would be rusty as an old plow buried in the woods. If Arc3 ever makes it to south central KY I'll have to give them a look.

I actually ordered a 30A from my local Arc3 store last week. Have some headache rack repair welding to do on several trucks and didn’t wanna have to tig them standing up on the back of the trucks. Your video was a perfect intro for me; only process I’ve never done.

With a spool I’ve found that a straight push with no movement works best just like you would with spray transfer. But when those are working they can make beautiful welds but man can they be finicky.

Tay it’s just money, go on and buy it. You can’t go wrong with Miller products. Awesome educational video. Now you need to get Frank to bring a push pull gun and try it out and then compare the two. Give the pros and cons for each type.

Looking forward to this one, as I have a Spoolmatic 30A on the way, for my Millermatic 255. First spool gun for me, and lots to learn.

@@LiftArcStudios Good info guys, can't wait till my 30A gets here! My welder is the Millermatic 255, which is basically the MIG only version of your Multimatic 255. About a grand cheaper, and had a $400 rebate. I already have a AC/DC TIG machine, and didn't want to pay for the redundancy.

i've got that spoolgun. almost first try did some very nice welds! the hose and cables comes straight out the back, instead of downward which can be akward.

Get a Push-pull gun if you're doing any appreciable aluminum mig production whatsoever. If I remember correctly its called the Aluma Pro XR. I have mine paired with the MM255, and its fantastic. I usually run pulse, and my spool gun hasnt left the cabinet i keep it in for 3 years now...

Little bit of heat on the aluminium before welding, welds soooo much better!!!!!!

WOW!! I can think of nothing else to say. Ray Oops I just thought of something else as I just now realize that a multi gas selector invention/manifold would allow changes in gas in seconds with the filck of a battery like selector switch limited by only how many bottles the welding cart can carry at one time.

so the question is. did he leave the spool gun behind because you em bought it:) something ive always wanted to try is ali welding on the mig.

I bought my first spool gun in 2005 to run on my first Lincoln Ranger 305G engine drive. Had to figure out all the settings myself and never have had the benefit of pulse. Took awhile, to say the least. I now run a Cobramatic push-pull cabinet on my third 305G. Believe me when I tell you, if you buy a spool gun; you’re buying a MAJOR headache! One of the most frustrating pieces of equipment you will ever pick up. Might run great for hours and, then all of a sudden (without changing anything), it will get the devil in it. After many frustrating attempts to find and fix the problem, it’ll go back to working,….for awhile anyway. Save your religion and get a push-pull system. Don’t believe me, wait until the spool gun gets a little use on it and you try to run 5356 wire through it.

I guess end HTP Propulse 220 sucks at welding aluminum without a spool gun even though peter zila says it's the bomb? No video follow up on it and no mention.

You Can't control MIG. And it looks like crap. Do yourself a favor and learn to use TIG, when you get good, it' doesn't have to be sanded. It's like braising! Get a life use TiG😊😊😊😊 I've been doing this for years and it's FAA approved. ~~ Cris H 😊😊😊

Did you pay attention to a single thing they covered? He stated pretty clearly that they use TIG for critical work, and for where aesthetics are a priority. And the MIG/spool gun would be for speed, general fabrication, and welds that will never see the light of day. But I guess since TIG is your preference, it should be everyone's preference.

Yea, I did then look a the welds, you have so.much weld, you can't tell about penitration.i looks like you used a caulk gun. I will stick to TIG, thanks anyway. And I don't do iron with.MIG or Stick. Enjoy ~~ Cris H
