i went onto millers site to check out the tig calculator so i could see what would be required to weld 1/4 in steel. according to miller ,mild steel requires 225- 300 amps to butt weld, where as to weld 1/4 in aluminum it only requires 190 to 220. i thought aluminum required higher amperage?Millermatic 211weldpack 3200 squirtgunsquare wave 200victory journeyman kitHypertherm 30xptoo much other crap to listtinkerer extraordinaire
