Snap On YA212A for Tig?

admin

I have a Snap on YA212A welder.  I would like to set it up for tig welding aluminum, but I am not sure what equipment I need.  I think this machine was made by century.  What style tig torch do I need that will connect to this machine, and can I connect a foot pedal to it?Also, how do I determine what type of rod I need? I don't know how to tig weld, but I would like to learn how to weld cast aluminumThanks for the help
