Lincoln Easy-Mig 180 with Magnum 100SG spool gun ?

admin

How would this setup work for metal up to 3/8" and for thinner Aluminum ?Almost all of my beads will be quite small and much of the welding will be simple tack welds.... I was curious if anyone else has the same or has used a similar setup ?What typically can one weld in Aluminum with such a spool gun ?  I am also very curious about how the aluminum spool gun compares with a 'mid line' TIG machine ?Cheers,/Jman...

Reply:Well,Thickness isn't really an issue for the stuff I do.  I would like to do some thicker Aluminum but most of that would be tacked into place as NONE of it would be load bearing or stressed in any way as it would be mostly ornamental / Artwork.I see that Miller has a new unit out called the "Diversion 165".  I found some decent pricing around the city and thought it might be perfect for what I need it for....Most of my stuff:20 gauge to 3/16" steel sheet / plate20 gauge to 1/8" Aluminum22 gauge to 1/8" Copper and Brass / BronzeSquare and round stock in both copper, stainless and mild steelCheers,/Jman...
