Hi this is really something i have no idea where to start with
I am looking to weld 3-6mm alluminium box section for a flat bed on a pickup
For which i will require a new welder
But i have never welded aluminium before so have no idea where to start on amps required or machines to look at
I am looking for mig if possible as it would have the most uses for me in future but would a tig setup be better
I have an inverter mma welder capable of running a scratch start tig setup would this be capable of doing a good job or not
Im not really keen on buying a dedicated tig unless i have to as it would have pretty much no use after this project whereas a mig is more likely to be used
Would this

With the correct liner and rolls be up to the job or is it a waste of time
As i said i have no idea where to start looking
