Aluminum spoolgun tips

by request here's a short how to video about aluminum welding with a spoolgun. #whiteriverrambo #welding #aluminum

Hands down the best aluminum spool gun video on YouTube. Thanks brother!

This was the best aluminum video iv ever seen, thanks! Trying to build toolboxes for my service truck and figured the boat guys had boxes down pat and should watch what they do!

Thanks good advice.
I have a Miller Spoolmate 3035 and I encountered the same problem with tips. Now I drill them out with a number 57 ( 0.043") drill. I'm a machinist so I have setups to drill small holes. You can do it with a high speed drill but go slowly and use 3 in 1 oil as a lubricant then clean the tip thoroughly in acetone and put them in a bag labeled for the new size so you don't mix them up with other tips.

Dustin, truly appreciate your straightforward, clear, informative, and concise presentation. Also appreciate your delivery pace. Thank you very much.

I've been telling people for years I just listen to my weld. I can tell. If I'm hot or cold or need more or less wire or whatever. Its nice to hear someone else doing the same.
Great video.

[rileyk]

extremely helpful video, especially for going from TIG to MIG. Thanks for the help!

[Cptnbond]

That was the best tutorial I have seen, i.e., how to set the machine correctly for MIG/Aluminium. Cheers.

Best video on spool gun welding on here hands down

[anarchistangler]

Very helpful. Americans are really handy at making stuff. It is inspiring.

[campgas]

Very good and well explained. I have welded for years and now I am in welding sales. I do many demos through out the years as well as troubleshooting. Most aluminum feed issues is wrong tip size. I am a Miller fan myself
I have a 211 and spool matic 150. Great set up for home!

Great info and explanation for a beginner like me. I am building a fiberglass boat, but I plan on doing some custom rails and rod holders so I bout a mig machine capable of attaching a spool gun and was searching for instruction. I'm going to save this to watch again when I start practicing. Thanks man.

[ProjectsYouCanDo]

Absolutely the best instruction/narration for proper spoolmate operation! Thank you for sharing.

After 40 years of welding I've learned to tig with the spool gun it's awesome try it

[paulkurilecz]

Thank you. I've have been looking at a lot of videos lately about how to weld aluminum and this is the first one that describes the sound. As I have been practicing, I prefer a steady movement rather than an intermittent movement. Also, I have been welding on on 1/16" and 1/8" bead on plate and outside corner welds. I have found that the higher feed speed is necessary in order to get good tacks without a large build up of weld metal.

I have yet to buy my spool gun, but that was a great intro for a beginner like me. Good job!

I recently acquired a Spoolmatic 30a, haven't fired it up yet but never used one before. I am new to mig welding too.

[kenbrake]

Such a good video. I’ll be saving this for future reference. You teach this really well!

[travisestes]

Such a good way to instruct about wire speed as it feels counter intuitive. I build raft frames out of ~1/8" stuff and really struggle with blowing through it. I'd really like a similar video for identifying when the power is right.

Thanks for sharing, I sure appreciate the tips!
