Thanks.

 

depends, but 1/4 inch

 

Sir, depends on what? I'm new to alum welding (not to steel TIG welding) , hope you can help......

Thanks

 

Aluminum requires different amounts of heat depending on the size of the part you're welding. This machine can put out 200A, so it should do 1/4" nicely, but larger parts might need preheating before welding.

 

AG, thanks for your input.

I do mostly intercooler plumbing, end tanks and other small things, so usually maximum of 1/4 thickness.
Do you know of any other that can handle little more than 1/4 thickness with about the same price?

Ifnot, i'll buy the v205 machine.

Thanks anyways
