What accessories would be necessary to start welding aluminum with this machine?

The aluminum spool gun attachment and Argon Gas and a dedicated brush and grinder for aluminum. It comes with a spool of aluminum.

You'll need a spool gun and a gas tank w/ argon shielding gas (typically 100% argon). This welder comes with the gas tank adapter (hose and regulator).

Bill has a very good answer. So it would help a lot if you grind a bit the 2 broken parts to make a V-joint before welding. Set amperage arount 70 amp. for a 6013 rod 1/16' inch. If you use 3/32' rod 7018 sert the amp at full power.

Which parts? The welding cables and such are standard. As for internals, I wouldn't know.

This welder will work fine if you know how to weld. What kinds of metal are you using? What thickness? Is say the max you can Wells with this would be 3/8", maybe 5/16", and I wouldn't suggest it for aluminum at all. Regular steel is fine.

Socket or wrench set is pretty much it. There are a couple of different sized nuts and bolts to secure. There is a video here on amazon that walks you through the set up as well. I found that invaluable as I could complete a step, then watch the video for the next step. Much easier than the instruction booklet.

Google welding chart.you can use .035 or .030. Just feed and temp settings are different.Use 100 percent Argon with aluminum.Good luck

I am not a pro. I think that 1/8" thick metal, is you probably can weld that thickness metal with the machine at the 100%the duty cycle. 3/32" rod is the maximum rod size I would use. You can weld 1/4" metal in a pinch, with multiple passes, let you welder cool down, so you don't burn out the welder. Good luck

Yes. It has an optional spool gun with a 20 foot cable specifically for aluminum welding. Also, it comes set uo for gas.

Comes with whip ground and 1lb of wire you can weld out the box with self shielding wire fed welding. Comes with accessories to run with gas for gmaw. I bought the spool gun and also have aluminum

No, as it comes it is for steel. There is an optional spool gun that could be configured for aluminum, I think, but if I wanted to do aluminum I would get a different machine. Great box for steel, up to 1/4 inch.

You can do Aluminum with this!!!! Most of these reviews do not know what the hell they are talking about. Is it an ideal Aluminum Welderer? NO! But, just because it is DC does not mean is can't do Aluminum. You will need to use Helium and clean the pieces immediately before welding. This is proven by the following vidhttp://youtu.be/H_DwA0vzKXI

Not sure what yer asking for here. You should probably try "Google." A CEM 140T is a great welder if you want to spend the time tracking down all the upgrade parts from other machines to make up for the garbage the put in the box. This type of machine has a lot of hobbyist support on the internet. Again, "Google."

I just used normal tools like screwdriver tap hammer and pliers. It also required a small punch. Everything went in easily after I realized what the small aluminum spacer was for. Sorry for taking so long to reply. Hope this helps.

This is a DC only machine. If you want to Tig weld aluminum this machine will not do it for ya

You should check with a welding supply source. I have not welded stainless, however to use with this machine it will need to be "flux core" of some type. Why not Google the question?

I want to know how to set it upTo get ready to learn how to us this welder ,can you help me with some instruction.

to weld aluminum material you have to use aluminum wire and as a shielding gas pure argon not 75/25 mix, make sure the material you are welding is clean of oil dirt or grime aluminum is not as forgiving as steel, good luck.
