Moderator please move to correct place if this is not correct.
We have a miller 185 mig welder but did not get the spool gun at the time.
We picked up a spool of aluminum wire at an estate sale some time back and it has been a thought to try it out some day.
Since they have spool guns we assume the device can do the work but why is the spool gun used?
Is it due to needing short distance between spool and work or for other reasons?
Has anyone simply used aluminum wire in the machine like steel wire is used?
If so what changes are needed in style of work or setup and how well does it work?
Seeking advise before attempting to set whatever expectations there would be.
