What mig to get for aluminum??

[Mark @ Everlast]

The Power i-MIG 253DPi. The unit is 2279.00 right now on sale. It's single and double pulse. It will accept a spool gun, or push pull gun. Or the unit comes with an additional poly liner for the standard gun and drive rolls for aluminum. I have one myself.

Does Everlast have a welder spoolgun combo similar to the Miller 252 spoolgun package?

Yes, the Power i-MIG 315 is equivalent to the 252. We also have a spool gun for it to match the amperage of the unit.

One thing though. If you are looking at the Miller 252, you can do better aluminum welding with a Pulse MIG. See you can't weld out of position with aluminum like that. If you go to pulse, MIG, you can. And with the double pulse capability, you can even yield near TIG like results in appearance.

The Power i-MIG 253DPi is both single and double pulse.

I had a Miller 350P with a Python push -pull gun for aluminum as well as a Bernard whip for steel.

It was an awesome machine but because I did not use it enough I struggled with settings.




I also had a 30A spool gun and a push pull unit for my 350XMT but did not have the Optima pulser.








For quick little jobs I also have a spool gun for my TA 181i

I have not had a chance to play with my new to me TA 320SP Twin Pulse Mig for aluminum yet. Things and life in general got in the way and hopefully I will be able to get more shop time in this winter.

That's one great looking set up! Just looked up the specs and seems to have a pretty impressive power to weight ratio. Good to be outside farting around these days... although I am looking forward to some warm shop time myself this winter!
