Hey Guys,
Before you trash your MIG for a new TIG unit you might try using it to weld
aluminum.
You must use 100% argon as the shielding gas. Keep your torch as straight as
possible and let 'er' rip...
Just an idea...

I researched this welder and discovered that it is AC only (DC sine wave
is required for welding Aluminum)that is why they say "(not suitable for
aluminum)"

See the weld on the fuel cap flange. Pretty awesome. You can also see the
weld on the fuel probe fitting,,, Awesome. Matt did all that with the
machine he is referring to.
See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org -

Hi Marlyn,
I think you have that backwards. A/C is used for aluminum.

My Miller Mig 130 XP quit. It costs more to fix it than it is worth.
Wouln't mind upgrading to a tig. The Miller 160 Tig is about $1400. Has
anyone tried the Harbor Freight Tig/MMA Inverter Welder part #98233 a
Hi Steve,
I had a HF MIG and thought it worked great. I upgraded to a Hobart
and then realized the HF MIG was not as good as I had thought.
You get what you pay for. Sometimes that's good enough. HF is
pretty good about taking things back that don't work as advertised.

I am going to buy an Econotig welder at Sun and Fun this year. If anyone
else is planning on getting one let me know and we can see if we can get a
better deal buying them at the same time.
