I stopped by my buddy's shop yesterday to see his new (to him) Miller Bobcat 225. He can't stop himself from buying equipment, so when it came along with 120 hours on it he grabbed it for $2300.
Anyway, we had fun burning some rods with it, and then he wanted to know if he could weld aluminum. Not without a spool gun. But my old Miller 330 is at his shop. When we've tried tigging aluminum with it in the past it would just trip the breaker. Now he's thinking we could plug the 330 into the Bobcat's 50 amp outlet, and use that setup to weld aluminum.
That would sure be easier and cheaper then setting up the Bobcat to do aluminum. Is there any reason that wouldn't work?
