Posting this for a friend from another forum:
"I need to create two frames from 2"x3" 10SWG hollow section aluminium (6082 T6). Am thinking I should weld them so I need to buy the kit to do it - need to update my 45 year old arc welder as well. I know the @Onoffspeaks well of this model which with associated TIG kit sounds like a working solution for under £300. Any other recommendations or thoughts?"
Mike's on about the Parweld XTS 162 I've just got.

"It's only D.C. - welding Aluminium needs A.C. otherwise you get poor welds. Find a local welder who can do it - shouldn't cost much."
Any suggestions?
Cheers
