In todays video we pickup the titanium mig 170 welder from harbor freight and instantly put it to work!!! I decided after some thought to also pickup the titanium 150 amp spool gun so that we could try welding aluminum!!

I wish there was a coupon for the mig170. They have the mig140 discounted but never see the 170. Guess I’ll just wait. Thanks for the video! This is definitely the best setup.

@bought2build 8 дней назад

@@TheGuyThatWondersWhy thank you for checking out the channel I appreciate the support! Yes I have been extremely happy with this machine! I have built a lot with it! I did a whole steel deck trailer conversion as well as a whole bunch of other projects if you wanna check them out but personally I would get the 170 over the 140! 🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍

@jc9930 Год назад

Possibly adjust post gas flow for a few seconds so when the aluminum cools it is still shielded. This may help prevent cracking.

@AXNJXN1 Год назад

I don't believe this MIG170 has ANY pre or post flow adjustments built on it. WYSIWYG.

@Santaheckler Год назад

I have the Titanium Flux125 and definitely happy with it. I’ll be upgrading to the MIG170 soon.

@bought2build Год назад

Great to hear! Yeah I love mine it has been a great little machine! I have built quite a bit of stuff with it! 🤟🤟🤟🤟

@buddyrebel_Garcia Год назад

That Gto looks amazing. I know this is an old video but I looked at the recent one. It is bomb, Diggity dog you feel that thing like a beast

@cnccarving Год назад

i just can blessing all the people like you i making signs and i had came up a job some iron gates 2 gates 38x84 sized i was thinking go over to the welding guy and giving him the welding randomly bought a mig welder the harcborfreight 125 costed 112 plus wire and glove about 180 overall probably i would pay for the welding 400-600 if i take to other shops now i thinking on i dont riveting together the frame for the other sign but buy a larger welder and a spoolgun and argon so im very optimistic no i wontbe a certified welder, but going to save big thank you very much for your encouraging video

very welcome!! and thank you!!!

@vermhot Год назад

Great review ! I have a 170 and love it and have been wanting the spoolgun !

@bought2build Год назад

Thank you glad you liked it! Yeah it is a fantastic little machine, especially for the price! I am extremely impressed with it!! I completely rebuild a wood deck car trailer with it turned it into a full steel deck with a big wind/ rock shield to help protect the cars! And it did fantastic that project is on the channel as well! It seems to really like Hobart wire! The spool gun is a great add on too! Takes a little fine tuning but can do a great job! I will also be doing a review on the primeweld 225 ac/dc tig welder here very soon! I have been running it through its paces the last couple weeks! Thanks for the support! 🤟🤟🤟

@vermhot Год назад

@@bought2build awesome, I look forward to seeing it !

@maddhatter8 Год назад

Exactly what I was looking for. I want to set up a cheaper smaller machine just for aluminum welding and wanted to know what I could do. I have the titanium 200 and love it, but want a separate machine already set up just for aluminum

@bought2build Год назад

Nice yeah should work good! I use my prime weld ac/dc tig for my the aluminum that I do like the intercooler piping video I did was all with the prime weld but I use this machine a lot for mild steel and it’s a great little machine the spool gun seems to work pretty well too!

@brianflynn5491 Год назад

Nice job, buddy

@bought2build Год назад

Thanks! 🤟🤟

@LuisPerez-gl6xp Год назад

What settings did you use for the spool gun? Nice work!

@bought2build Год назад

thanks! and honestly I don't remember exactly what I had it set at. I do know I used the recommended settings and dialed it in from there and I was definitely turned up more than the recommended settings! hope this helps

@yeeyee6190 3 месяца назад

What were your settings on the welder

@drewchambers9132 Год назад

So for the spool gun you have to use argon? I guess I assumed you just had to have the spool gun for the titanium 170

@bought2build Год назад

correct for welding aluminum I use 100% argon different metals will require different gas when welding mild steel I use a 75%/25% mix 👍

@DIY.11.11 Год назад

Great review

@bought2build Год назад

Thanks!

@swamparcher14 Год назад

There is great hack on utube for making adapter for spool gun so u dont need unhook mig gun..20 dollars

@bought2build Год назад

Thanks! I think I seen that too! I don’t really use it tbh only really used it for the review so far but if I end up using it more I will!

@thehandyhomeowner9781 Год назад

What were the settings you ended up on for the the aluminum?

@bought2build Год назад

That will highly depend on what thickness of the material you are welding if you you are on 120v or 220v and a few other factors like the wire you are using etc. i started with the recommended settings on the little door of the welder and and played around with them until i got it where I liked it for my particular machine I found myself a little higher than their recommended settings.

@PrimitiveOverland Год назад

What fucking settings did you use.

@INTIREMOBILETIRESHOP Год назад

I do a mobile tire shop and right now I can stretch and paint wheels. Can this welder can weld hairline cracks in aluminum wheels with the spool gun? Provided I heat the rim first and run it on 240.

@keggersbrew168 Год назад

Yes

@bought2build Год назад

I don't see why not with the proper setup or checkout my video on the PrimeWeld ac/dc tig welder

@tomswope3039 Год назад

How do you think this welder would have done welding aluminum with 110v?

@bought2build Год назад

I think it would still do good the 110 will limit the thickness that you can weld tho

@tannersrobinson2695 2 года назад

Would you recommend this spool gun to weld inter cooler pipe on a turbo set up

@bought2build 2 года назад

I can not say that I have tried welding something that thin with the spool gun. In my personal opinion I would say that the spool gun does great in thicker aluminum. I was able to get some pretty good looking welds out of it pretty fast as you can see in the video, but if you want to weld something like charge piping which is usually .065-.085 on a regular basis and have it look nice I would recommend the primeweld tig 225X. I just got the primeweld machine and have been absolutely loving it for the price! I will be doing a review on it once I have a little more time with it!!! I am not saying that it can not be done with the spool gun. I just think you would have better results with a AC/DC tig machine similar to the primeweld. Thanks for watching! Hope this helps! 🤟🤟🤟

@cristinastor Год назад

So I can see clearly that you are welding with the Miller on aluminum

@bought2build Год назад

the welds I showed in the video were the spool gun! my tig welds look much different than the spool gun welds you see in the video I also have since sold this old miller and got a newer ac/dc high frequency tig machine with a pedal this old miller didn't have a pedal for on the fly amperage 👍

@doyoufeellikeido Год назад

My 170 manual says “no extension cords”. Obviously you’re using one on your trailer. What length and gauge extension are you using? I’m sure the Titanium guys are afraid some dolt will use an interior lamp extension cord. ;-)

@bought2build Год назад

It very well may say no extension cords tbh I didn’t look like you said they probably mean small 115v extension cords idk I’m using 220/240v power and I use the extension cord all the time for my mig and tig because my welding area is on the other side of the garage. I am not sure what gauge it is it is a 220/240v extension for powering an old RV camper I had

@drewchambers9132 Год назад

I used a Heavy-duty NEMA 6-50 Extension Cord for Welder or EV Length:50 ft. from EVSEADAPTERS for $159 I notice no change from not using this cord its perfect to reach the driveway etc

@ExpertPowerWash 2 года назад

Interested in this welder for aluminum

@bought2build 2 года назад

it works very well spool gun takes a little practice to dial in but other than that it is great!!!

@seahawksforever9504 Год назад

Does the Vulcan 160 amp spool gun also work for the mig 170? Has anyone try this? It's also from Harbor freight

@bought2build Год назад

I am not sure I have not tried it

@ParadiseRanchLV Год назад

@@bought2build actual settings?

@bought2build Год назад

@@ParadiseRanchLV it’s 90% technique you can make a wide range of settings work the type of aluminum you are welding will change this dramatically use the settings on the door add 10 wire speed and .2 volts and that’s what i usually weld at but my settings may blow through your material that’s why I always tell people you gotta try it and figure out what works for you 👍🤟

@PrimitiveOverland Год назад

He never says what settings he used

@bought2build Год назад

I have mentioned them before but a lot of times I won’t because it highly depends on wire size and 120 or 240v and your individual machine! I will tell you my honest recommendation I start at the settings they are on the door of the machine and I will adjust up or down based on how the machine is welding! You can get a beautiful weld with the settings posted on the door of the machine fine tuning them beyond that takes a little knowledge and just practice of being able to look at the weld and know what way you need to go sorry I can’t give you an exact number

@PrimitiveOverland Год назад

@@bought2build nobody cares. We can see the material you are using. What fucn settings did you use.

@gagebouch9458 8 месяцев назад

75 25 gas?

@bought2build 8 месяцев назад

For steel yes! With the spool gun on aluminum 100% argon 🤟🤟👍👍👍👍👍

@gagebouch9458 8 месяцев назад

Thanks do you think the TITANIUM UNLIMITED 200 Professional Multi-Process Welder would run mig the same?

@bought2build 8 месяцев назад

@@gagebouch9458 yeah I don’t see why not personally what I did was I got the mig 170 and then for tig I got the primeweld check out the video I did on that! Great great tig machine for the money! I also built a steel deck for my car trailer with the mig 170 you can see it work a lot in that video hopefully this helps 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
