Does it weld alumminum

Not with it stock. You cant weld aluminum material with solid steel or flux core wire, as they will not bond well with the aluminum and the weld will not be very strong. Your MIG welder will need to have a spool gun installed as well, because the aluminum wire is too soft to push from the machine, and wont make it up the feed.

Aluminum welding usually requires a spool gun because aluminum wire is too soft to feed through the six foot cable and gun. I don't think there is any provisions to add a spool gun to this model.

Only with arc welding rod. Not tig. To tig weld aluminum you need ac current. This is a DC machine. As long as you buy some aluminum welding rod it should work.

This machine can only weld mild steel, as there is not much selection for wire. While it might actually fuse the stainless together, the weld WILL rust.

I used it on bunch of alum 1/4 rivets with steel shank and it worked well as far as 1/4 steel have not tried it .

I've yet to weld aluminum with it , however , if you're on 220 ,I don't see it being a problem.

Yes it will but you should probably heat it first. If you have a mig welder you can place a slightly oversize nut over the broken end of the bolt and weld the interior of the nut to bond it. This will also heat the bolt. Let it cool enough till the red glow is gone. You should be able to losen it with a socket.

I've never use it on metal. I bought this unit specifically to weld aluminum. I've never weld any thing before (metal or else). But I was able to weld very thin aluminum (1/8" and 1/16") aluminum. The chart settings are a bit off but with couple of minutes try and error, it works. I would choose one with many settings vs capped ones. Like I said above, it makes me almost a pro instantly.

Suppose to be.... I'm actually pretty impressed with it so far. I tried the other "red" import model and returned within days because of problems welds pretty decent aluminum & steel will see if it holds up

I got this for my husband and he said that this one isn't made to weld aluminum.

yes, you need to get an aluminum spool, use argon only, no mix, and preheat the object being welded

From what I've read no. Aluminum is too soft to feed through a regular Mig welder. You can buy an aluminum spool gun which hooks up to the tip of the welder but it costs just as much as a welder. Your best bet would probably be to just buy a welder that has the capability of welding both flux wire and aluminum. I found one for an example but you could probably do some more thrift shopping to get a better deal.

Yes it sure will. This is a great welder I have welded everything from a PP kayak to a broken ABS rake. I have also repaired my motorcycle feder and plan to weld my gas tank soon.

Yes it does. But it's good for browning things. You just need to use plastic to stir-not metal.

No it doesn't but it's pretty strong. So strong that when you press the Tazzer for 2 seconds it smells like you welded something lol I don't know if you know how it smells when someone welds but this flashlight with show you

No, it's their Plastic Weld product....if you need to repair metal, use the normal JB weld...Key is to prep the heck out of the surface you are going to adhere the JB weld to. Good Luck!

NO, it should only arc when you make contact with the work. Like an arc welder.

I used j-B Weld. it did a great job. I have also used it on several other things including fixing the plastic molded hing on a waffle maker. the stuff just works.
