Hi, I'm looking into helping my Dad set his welder up to run Aluminium, only problem is I live in the US and he lives in northamptonshire, I work at a welding supply Store here in Kansas, but can't find any literature on a compact 220, don't think it was offered here....
Has anybody run aluminium wire on a compact 220? and if so did you run a spool gun or change the drive roll set up and run a short gun lead?
Also I was wanting to know how readily available Helium is over there for shielding gas, as I was going to advise him to run that to help get heat into his welds as he'll be welding a fairly thick cast?
Any help would be great, thanks
