I have never been able to get a 110 mig to weld aluminum.
Forget the stick welder for aluminum.
220 mig can weld aluminum but you are going to need pacience and pratice.
Tig will weld it all and weld it the best.
With a tig welder and a 220 mig you are going to be limited to where you weld "about 15 feet from the welder.
A 110 mig you can carry and plug just about any where.
A Stick you can get longer leads.
My money for at home is the 110 mig useing both flux core and gas. Gas will look better and cleaner. Use flux when pretty isn't needed.
Get the auto hood, a 4" or 4 1/2" grinder, safety goggles and an old long sleave shirt " sunburn protection".
The money you save on the 110 model and small grinder you should spend on the hood "auto darking lens".
I also gas weld |
