Mig Welding Aluminum 1/2"  thick vertical uphill settings technique

primeweld mig180

I think of my Mig180 mostly as a Great Little MIG Welder with a great arc and nice small mig gun that feels great in my hand... but it also Stick welds, and even comes with a spool gun for aluminum.  

just look at all that comes with it... That is a lot of bang for the buck!
