Q:Can this weld aluminum? Some say ok and just buy the aluminum wire but other say no. Who is right? I need to weld aluminum for DIY projects.

Answer This Question

A:  No, to weld aluminum you have to shield the weld with Argon gas. Also feeding aluminum can be difficult without a push/pull set up or a spool gun because of the wires tensile strength.

by|Nov 1, 2023

    A:  No. Welding aluminium in an O2 atmosphere causes the metal to vaporise. Argon, helium or maybe an other inert gas must displace the air at the point of the arc.

      Been welding for 40 years
      Like the title says I've been welding for over 40 years. With that said this little welder isn't going to weld like a $1000 welder and it shouldn't for less than $300. However this little buzz box does one heck of a job on sheet metal repairs if you take your time. For the money, the size and the portability this little welder is unbeatable for what it's capable of. I'd honestly have to say anyone who's given this thing a bad review most likely doesn't have a clue what welding involves.

        First Time Welding
        Not a welder by any means, but I really like how this machine is working so far. I upgraded to a bigger clamp. Not saying the one it comes with did not work, but plenty of videos I saw recommended a better ground clamp.

        My first wire feed welder and I'm amazed.
        This little welder is ideal for a DIY beginner. Easy to set up and get started for simple and more involved welding jobs. With a bit of practice and some skills fine-tuning, I believe anyone can master this little gem. I used it to remanufacture our old hay trailer into a box trailer using some channel iron and a few old steel bedframes. This welder is impressive for its size and portability. I highly recommend it to hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts.

          Best welder I’ve owned, and im a professional
          For 250 bucks, that welders brought me in close to 30k in about 3 months. Hands down the best welder I’ve ever owned for how cheap it was. Bought it because I needed to do a quick repair and forgot to bring my welder lol. The welder worked out great for the small repairs I do, it does even better for the larger projects I do. I’ve welded and passed a certified weld on 1/4” with this welder. The welder is so much more useful than a gas mug welder and weighs roughly 10 pounds. I will buy again

            A nice, easy to use, little unit for DIY people
            I haven't done any welding since high school and this was very easy to set up and use. It's light and very portable. I'd recommended this as a first time welder's or a DIY homeowner's starting machine any day. I have two gripes with it, though. One: the grounding clamp is barely big enough to clamp on 1" tubing (which is okay. As they're easily replaced). And two: the wire spool clip is a bit finicky. You have to make sure it actually clicks in or it will cause your wire to go.. haywire. That might just be user error, but its something to look out for if this is your first welder.

            I’m wow’d
            I bought this welder to make some side steps on my custom micro/tear drop camper build. I was hesitant at first if this would do the job but for the price I figured I’d give it a shot. This welder put down some nice beads for being the size of a big shoe box and running on 110v. I have previous experience running MIG with gas and the only major difference I noticed was a good deal of spatter but not too bad. I weigh 200 lbs and I jumped up and down on the side steps and the welds felt solid as a rock. Can’t wait to do more projects with this machine.

                Best! Flux core welder!
                I've owned mine for almost two years and put A Lot of flux through this little guy. It will weld 1/4' with clean surface and good ground. DC current makes for less splatter compared to AC. Great for welding in garage or tight spaces. Sucks the flux is limited in size of spool but great welder. Slag Peel all day. like an inch worm.

                  https://youtu.be/uxFfwIhH72M This is an awesome welder. I love the size, only 15 lbs. Welds great...
                  https://youtu.be/uxFfwIhH72M This is an awesome welder. I love the size, only 15 lbs. Welds great can easily do 3/16". 1/4" would take a couple passes. I'll be keeping this guy around just because it is so easy to throw in the truck and help a friend! Only complaint would be is it doesn't come with any wire or accessories. If you want to see it in action check out my review on Youtube!
