Is my welder big enough to weld aluminum?

Nov 29, 2004 2 Replies

Hello group,



I have a Lincoln 255 Power Mig and was wondering if it would weld 1/8" to



1/2" aluminum pretty good?

I have only used my welder to weld steel. What would I need to convert the welder over or should I get another welder just for aluminum?



What would be a good welder for aluminum and in a good price range?



Thanks to all!

Lincoln has a aluminum kit available for your setup:

Either a spoolgun from Lincoln or a generic spoolgun from MK Products or Readywelder.

The machine has plenty of power for aluminum.
