KR> Welder/Aluminum

Hey Guys, Before you trash your MIG for a new TIG unit you might try using it to weld aluminum. You must use 100% argon as the shielding gas.  Keep your torch as straight as possible and let 'er' rip... Just an idea...  J.E. Caudle Fenwick, WV 363TB (On the Bench)

The harbor freight tig is ok for 4130, stainless and mild steel and if you are only building a couple airplane's it is ok and for beginner's just starting out it is ok. my brother in law bought a Hobart now im spilled. From: Marlyn Taylor

Go down near the bottom of this: http://krbuilder.org/ConvertingToWingTanks/index.html See the weld on the fuel cap flange. Pretty awesome. You can also see the weld on the fuel probe fitting,,, Awesome. Matt did all that with the machine he is referring to. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org

I bought a Longevity LS-200P Multi Purpose unit on a whim one day about a year and a half ago to try it out... It does Tig, stick (both 200A max) and Plasma (50A) cutting. It will do AC/DC and DC Wave... At the risk of sounding like an ad, the thing is great. I use it so much, that I gave my

Just to pass along some info from a talented pilot and welder friend. There is alot of interesting info and discussion of HF welders on this site. http://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/ My question is: I once saw several pictures of a side stick setup in a KR. There was a diagram of the

Hi Marlyn, I think you have that backwards.  A/C is used for aluminum. J.E. Caudle Fenwick, WV 363TB (On the Bench) <> I researched this welder and discovered that it is AC only (DC sine wave is required for welding Aluminum)that is why they say "(not suitable for aluminum)" <>

I second that, I've designed alot of different parts on my current project but all welding had been done at a good shop. Like anything, there is a buy vs. do choice to be made. I only have maybe 8-16hrs a weekend, spending 4-5 hrs to wield something that takes a pro 30min is not going to maxize my

I have been reading about various people's idea's of the different welding styles & equiptment. My suggestion is before you even start go to your local training estabilshment, & learn about all the various bits pieces & have a go . By the time you have purchased your equiptment etc etc the

I have done all of them and all have good and bad things about them. for most general stuff a small gas unit is great. The MIG is tricky on thin wall until you really know what you are doing, it's easy and inexpensive but takes a lot of practice to get a really good weld. But the best by far is

All I have been reading alot about the different methods and looking at welders and reading alot about techniques before I try to weld my aluminum tanks and 4130 control stick. It looks to me like MIG is ok for aluminum if you use a spool gun.  Gas looks a little trickier but do-able with

Hi Steve, I had a HF MIG and thought it worked great.  I upgraded to a Hobart and then realized the HF MIG was not as good as I had thought. You get what you pay for.  Sometimes that's good enough.  HF is pretty good about taking things back that don't work as advertised.    J.E. Caudle

My Miller Mig 130 XP quit. It costs more to fix it than it is worth. Wouln't mind upgrading to a tig. The Miller 160 Tig is about $1400. Has anyone tried the Harbor Freight Tig/MMA Inverter Welder part #98233 and if so, have any comments. Steve Bennett ifly...@msn.com

I've done a lot of research and the legs with the scotch ply construction are the lightest and strongest and most flexible. Also have you looked at the oil presure tube, not sure if your using an elec or manual if manual I've had problems with tubes, and yes it might weigh more but I've gone to
