TIG welder or MIG Spool Gun for Aluminum

[fdcmiami]

We have a 250EX and *210EXT and a *IMIG-200 and IMIG205 with spool guns for aluminum (* is the ones used most these day). Really depends on the job, but the MIG is normally the winner unless small detailed work or odd metal type is required/used.

fdcmiami: What did you use to groove and clean the salty boat?

i used 36 grit flap discs for most of it. sometimes i'll use my skill saw when i have a clump of something, i lay it at an angle and drag it across the weld. cleans up fast, better be holding on though. i use cheap seven and a quarter in blades.

i own a 250ex, very happy with it, and use it when conditions warrant its use.
