Hobart SpoolRunner 100 Spool Gun with Welding Wire - MIG Welding Kit for Aluminum & Steel - Perfect for Automotive Repair, Metal Fabrication & DIY Projects

I do a lot of tig welding on aluminum anything from 1/16"-1/2" on boats. I love running my Everlast 225EXT but it can get time consuming especially on 1/4" and large projects. I have never ran a spool gun before but if you have ran a mig welder before you will catch on pretty quick. I have a hobart 210 MVP using this gun and it runs great. One thing that will probably surprise you is the argon gas flow needs to be around 30-35 cfh and the wire speed is pretty fast, on mine it's from 70-100 I will suggest that you bend a quick fish hook in your wire because when you ark up cold the wire wants to jam into the metal and cause a backlash in the rollers. It welds fast so be ready for it.Most of the tubing on the Boat T-top was welded using the spoon gun. Hope this helps you. Thanks Smitty
