Spool Gun on An Inverter TIG Machine?

admin

I have a great 200 amp ac/dc inverter tig machine and was wondering if a spool gun can be installed on it? I'm trying to mig weld aluminum up to 1/4" thick.Thanks

Reply:No!!  isn't going to work unless you have a voltage sensing setup, even then going to be difficult to start in cc.
Reply:I don't think it can be done. TIG/stick is a CC process and MIG is CV.EDIT: Cruizer beat me by one minute.9-11-2001......We Will Never ForgetRetired desk jockey. Hobby weldor with a little training. Craftsman O/A---Flat, Vert, Ovhd, Horz. Miller Syncrowave 250

Reply:There are several spool guns made for running off of cc. Almost all will work with the proper controller.  Can't tell you how well they work as I haven't tried it just investigated them.The difference between art and craft is the quality of the workmanship. I am an artist.
