oof. Aluminum welding needs 2 things to work well, clean material and spray transferring of material. 1. Brush the oxide layer off the metal (Brush with a SS brush that has never touched rust or any other metal, sharpie "ALUMINUM ONLY" on it) 2. Clean it with Isopropyl alcohol 3. Your weld should sound like a hiss, no spurts or sputters, you may need to adjust distance and/or feed speed. Ideally it'll look like there's a cone of plasma that jumps from the work to the aluminum wire, if that cone touches the tip, it'll jam, if it's too far away, it'll sputter. Good aluminum welding produces almost no spatter. Remember to push into the weld, don't draw away from it like stick welding. Hope that helps :)
Sounds like you are referring more to a dual shielded process. To me, I think your travel angle needs to be improved/flipped around. Pull the bead rather than push it. And why the hell are you welding on a wood table???
This spoolgun is the shit did a big job with it and it worked awesome. Had bought the Lincoln 210mp and man that thing goes. Used it on 110v and 220v worked good , but will be a beast on 220v.
Jake just sounds like he can git er done, know what I'm sayin', he's the type of dude who's place I want my rig to break down in front - ha ha, good ol' honest video no B.S. thank you sir
You said the Argon was adjusted to 35 psi. I think you meant 35 CFH (CUBIC FEET PER HOUR). I was hoping it would work on my Lincoln 100 weld pak. I need to download that owners manual. Thanks for posting
Question ❓ I would like to know if you have ever welded steel with your spool gun Or will the spool gun handle such a task as welding steel with either flux core or gas wire Thank you in advance
Feed the wire thru first with the trigger and then put spool in slot worked way better. If it kinks reverse the wire spool and then remove the tip amd feed the wire and cut-off the kinked wire and put the tip back on.
You shouldn't have too. Recheck the wiring, and some models require to wire in a switch. Some models already have it. Make sure it is switched to spool gun.
Loved the video the reason I bought one however I have found that the gun is seriously a hunk of shit if you have spent any real time using it and I’m sure you have by now you know what I’m saying. Regardless was a great video and got me going quickly when I got mine.
Or, you didn’t follow the instructions, and the roller adjustment has the rollers too far apart. Most likely the reason. Or, you didn’t put the wire in properly.
I wouldn't ever buy another Lincoln welder again over priced junk they are living off the name with poor quality gear now they went from one of the best to over priced crap Miller has Lincoln destroyed as far as quality and dependability!!!
Pal you obviously don't have a clue about mugging aluminum should be 0 spatter fucking 0 so.... It doesn't work worth a shot on a 180 welder doesn't put out enough amperage or voltage rather
only you the indidvidual knows if this is the machine you need and looking for it all depends what you want to do it witih it, my self all i need is a regular mig welder to do auto body work, so i won't even bother viewing this video good luck you all.
