which is recommended for welding aluminium spool with this machine?
1405116
Do you want to know if you can weld an aluminum spool with this welder, if you are really good with a welder maybe, but this is not even close to what I would use on aluminum? Aluminum is a real pain and TIG is the only way to go if you want it to hold. For what it is it is not bad and not needing to haul a tank around makes it handy but this welder is not meant for any sort of serious welding. You can get a stick welder for light aluminum jobs for around the same money and if you are new to welding get extra aluminum sticks and practice on scrap first.

#2 copper welding cable would be optimal. I'm using 3 batteries to ensure proper voltage under high demands. I would recommend at least 2 batteries.

This is a DC only machine, therefore you can't use TIG for aluminum. You might be able to use the stick process for that with special electrodes but I wouldn't recommend it.

You can't tig weld aluminum on this machine. It does not have HF ac output. It weld stainless as good as any I've used. No foot pedal of coarse, but still welds great.

to weld aluminum material you have to use aluminum wire and as a shielding gas pure argon not 75/25 mix, make sure the material you are welding is clean of oil dirt or grime aluminum is not as forgiving as steel, good luck.

Haven't a clue, but from other spool gun welder combos, I'd say that if you can match whatever the drive motor voltage is and figure out the plug pins for the feed/gas and welding current on/off are, then you can probably use it with most anything that can provide those requirements. I'd also say that while this is a handy little spool gun and works well with it's Hot Max mate, I think I'd go with something a bit more husky if I was planning to do a cross over of some type like you are asking about. I can say I'm very pleased with the Hot Max & spool gun combo I went with --it all just works. Hope that helps you, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

This is a good machine for the price. It can weld flux core I use it for Aluminum weldingand I have to l let it cool at intervals. Works very good - no big set-up involved.

I purchased Ameriflame to braze copper, but it has performed well in light welding. It has completely satisfiedall my brazing and welding needs. Good Luck

I reckon so if your careful but from experience I can tell you spend the extra 10$ and get the Dremmel the yoke on the kawasaki unit is plastic and it broke first day on me plus it's a pretty weak machine anyhow I returned mine and got the Dremmel but I was vs cutting nails not aluminum but I'd imagine the end result will be the same once the th ING heats up the plastic melts and it fails anyways hope this helps you brother

20 amp for 110 and a 30 amp for 220 ... Only time ur gonna need 220 volts would b to weld Aluminum... Duty cycle is better on 110 also !! Machine works great .

First thing is that it will only work on Hobart handler 190 and the 210. And you will have to get 1 LB aluminum wire spool. The package comes with everything else.

I own two of these, and I solder copper to steel and aluminum to steel. This is the most powerful electric soldering iron I've ever found. Just make sure you use the right flux for the soldering you are doing. You might also try a small butane torch if your work piece is large.

You can if you get the adapter to use larger spools.http://www.hobartweldshop.com/servlet/the-35/mig-welder-wire-hub/Detail

It cannot weld aluminum. This welder is DC only and aluminum requires AC. It will work fine for stainless steel and regular steel.

no you need a elctric welder with a shielded gas arc..tig welder Tungsten Inert Gas welder...special machine...metal has to be meticulously clean when welded with a stainless steel brush

The power supply cables are push and lock terminals inside the machine. The maximum recommended welding wire size is .035".
