Can I buy and use a spoolgun to weld aluminum with my Miller 130XP MIG (110v) What would be the draw backs and then the plus's? I understand changing out the tank for Argon. Will this change the thickness that I can weld?

Thanks Chris

You will need a miller 3035 spoolgun and an SGA 100 control box. You will be limited to probably 3/16-1/4 inch material, and that being with using a 50/50 helium argon mix. Check out this link.

Thanks for the info Jim. Did not realize about the helium/argon mix?? Tell me more as why helium?

I could explain it, but this is better than what I could do. Not only that, I don't have to type so much. Check this out.
