Stick welders are constant current machine.  Wire feeders are generally constant voltage.  Controlling voltage would be very difficult with a constant current machine.  The short answer is no, buy a CV power source machine if you want to use a wire feed unit.

Yes but it isn't made for AC.  The original poster on this thread was
looking for one that worked on an AC Stick machine.

one.

Do you have to be registered member to get that info.   I just clicked
on the link and got an error.

Can Series 400 stainless steel be welded successfully to carbon steel ?  I use
my Millermatic 135 MIG for most welding.

John, I don't know if any has answered you on this. Be careful when
buying welding tips at flea markets. Most of the ones I have seen are
worn out. By worn out I mean they have been cleaned out so much the hole
in them has been enlarged too much.

Ken

Is it too late to go back to the dark ages of snail mail and landline phones?

The end vertical parts of the frame are 1 1/2 square x 1/8 wall, the top/bot
frame rail is 3/4x 1 1/2 rectangular x 1/8 and the pickets are 3/4 square x16
ga.
MIG welded .030 ER70S, 75/25 Mix the welds are 1/4" done very quickly and very
spread out

Hi,
I've built a few decent size gates-11 TO 12FT each (with the pickets on the
outside) and had to force the warpage out of them after they were done.
I tried using 3/16 x 3x3 and bracing them, but as soon as I release the
clamps-boing!
On another 12FT. gate, I let 4ft hang over my table (on each end) of the 4ft
table and tied 15 lb weights to each end before starting to tack in random order
to spread the heat out. it seemed to help, but still moved 1/2"
I'm starting to wonder if I need to make an adjustable brace.
I would appreciate any information to help me correct this problem.

Sincerely,
California Don

You may be able to adapt one but I don't think it would work very well.
I have never heard of welding with a wire feed using AC.
Try it you you might like it.

Ken

Change is inevitable........except from a vending machine!

I was wondering if anybody has a Miller suitcase 12VS and if they have done any aluminum welding with it. I dont want to get a spool gun at this time and would like to do the little aluminum MIG work that I have with the suitcase if possible. I know the troubles with running wire that distance through a sleave. Wondering if there were any tricks, tips, or advice. Kevin

,___

I have the above unit and am fairly "new" to welding.  I have run a 2# spool of
flux core reg wire thru the unit and am not doing too bad with what I need to
get done (mainly hobby and small trailer repair)
What I'm wondering is if anyone here has actually tried to run this machine with
the stock gun and 3M/10 ft lead to 'push' .030 aluminum thru it. [.035 is not
called out for the 115 V Model]  I already have the advice to buy a 'spoolgun'
etc but really dont want to spend the $200+ to get another attachment that will
rarely be used.

I have a full 75/25 CO2/AR bottle and a second one with about 1/3 CO2/AR mix.

I'm thinking that when I get the second one empty, I'll get a refill of straight
AR for ALMIG.

PS  Whats the difference in Radnor ALMIG  #5356 and # 4043 aluminum wire ?  Is
one "better" than the other ?

PS2  HFT is selling 10# spools of standard .030 steel MIG wire for $ 19.99 
(Chinese ?) Is that stuff OK and is the price Ok too ? (As opposed to buying it
straight from Praxair, LiquidAir locally)

Thanks for the replies ---

   After checking out the info on the site for the model 250, I decided that I
might as well pick the brain of the guy at my local welding supply. Glad I did.
Seems that even though the tip on ebay was made by Oxweld, it will only fit the
Prest-o-Weld torches, which are no longer made.

   My local supplier had the right cutting tip for my torch and it was only about
$1.75 more than the one on ebay would have cost me, had it fit my torch. Also
found out that new brazing tips for my torch, only come with the mixers on them.
Was hoping to find just the copper tips to use on extra mixers that I have. I
have a #6 and some muche larger ones, but needed a #1 brazing tip, so I went
ahead and bought a new one. Could have bought one online, but the price was the
same in the end.  AT least now I know what to look for in the flea markets to
fill out my range of brazing tips.

John, Check with your local welding supply house to see if they have
them. Make sure you won't be paying too much for it. If you can get it
for the starting bid plus shipping it is probably worth the gamble.

Well, at this point anyway, I`m lost when it comes to interchanging the tips
on my welding torch. I have an Oxweld model CW 300 cutting torch and want the
use a smaller tip on it.

  It has a Purox #5 tip on it now that is good up to 1.5 inches of steel. I want
a #4 tip that is for a max of 1/2" material. A purox #4 and an Oxweld #4 happen
to be the same.

  I found a Prest-o-Weld #4 on ebay that was made by Oxweld and sold by Linde.
Pretty sure it will fit in my torch, but don`t know how much steel thickness it
is rated for. Can`t find any cross reference charts for Prest-o-Weld anywhere.

   Anyone got any info on the Pres-o-Weld tips ?? No sense asking the seller in
this case, because it is the only welding related item they have listed. Thanks
for your time.
