Welding 0.060 square alloy tubing with spool gun

admin

Very new to welding aluminum but have been having decent success on 1/8 with my powermig 256 and magnumSG spoolgun. I would like to pickup some 0.060 wall tubing (6061) for a new project but am wondering how touchy it will be with my setup.  I see on thr chart in thr door there is a recomended setting using 0.030 4043 wireThanksJeff
Reply:Why not buy some and try it out? Personally, I wouldn't use a mig for something that thin. But I'm much better with a tig torch than a mig gun.Lincoln Precision Tig 185Lincoln Power Mig 256Hypertherm PM 45Everlast 140STSmith O/A

Reply:A lot ia going to depend on your machine.   Some will do fine and others will burn it up...  My SP 250 will do a nice bead on 16 gaugeTiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250
