I have a spoolmatic 3 that I just got in and a dip pac 250 mig ( esab airco). My question. 1. Can I direct connect? 2. Need a magic box? or 3. totally hopeless and impossible? If it is not possible to connect the spoolmatic 3 to the dip pac 250 I also have a Lincoln idealarc sp200 mig and a 20 year old harbor freight 161 mig. My goal is to use up a large supply of .080 5052 aluminum that I have on hand. So when the deal came to me on the spoolmatic 3 spool gun I jumped at it. I plan to possibly build trailers, boats, ramps, fuel tanks, water tanks, tool boxes ect. Maybe even the body to a ATV. It is my understanding that because the wire feed speed control is built into the spoolmatic 3 this hybrid (miller - esab) welder may be possible. All I need to do is 1. turn the power to the welding lead on and off 2. turn the gas on and off. 3. power up the spool gun. Thank you and God's blessing to you.
