Does anyone have an opinion of a Hobart handler 230 Mig welder? Especially using a spool gun for aluminum.

Ya it is. Wasn't even paying attention, sorry.

No actualy that is 1/16 inch. it was just the way I had it sitting on two pieces of steel. But I turned down the amps and it flowed better. I now have a larger piece of 1/8 inch, which I measured this time (obviusly too old and too blind). I will get a stainless steel brush and clean the aluminum. T...

The aluminum is only 1/8 and the gas is Argon. the flow rate is 18 cfh. I have tried higher flow rates to 30 and lower to 12 CFH. They aluminium I am using is a angle and I don't know what type it is. I have changed my pinout to 3/16 and I cleaned up my gas lens. I have tried different amperages fro...

I just tried aluminum welding and well it sucked. My gas lens is very dirty and I think that I am burning up to much tungston. The aluminum was 1/8 thick, welder set on A/C and I can melt aluminum with the best. My work piece has black soot on it. The first piece was ok but it just got worse. Also i...

Ok so you want to know about 1,2 & 3 phase wiring. Think of you wiring a water hose. the voltage is the size of the pipe and the amperage is the pressure. With 1 phase wiring you have a pipe that can handle 115 volts at higher amperage because to get the voltage out you need a predetermined amou...

I have just started with a Tig Welder so you can just imagine where my head is. Tig skill (LOW LOW). Can anyone tel me how long should the Tungston last. Not counting how many times the work piece jumps up to touch the tungston or when that stupid filler rod, on its own grabs hold of the tungston ju...

To start what size is the main ccircut breaker. At best it probably only 200 amps. You can not exceed that but if your are running a 208/220 system there should be no problem. Your input amps won't be as high as the output. Now as to wire - you start running greater that 6/0 wire your a fool(the hig...
