For aluminum. I use a mig gun at home. I have a Lincoln 180 Pro with the aluminum mig gun. I want a Lincoln Precision TIG 225 with a water cooled torch. Welding aluminum, the torch gets FVCKIN' HOT!
HOLY CRAP! I couldn't believe the heat needed to melt the aluminum. The entire aluminum stock was crazy hot. Aluminum melts at something like 1300? So maybe I'm not that surprised. It's really intense sitting there getting it done.
