Howdy Demon,

So, back to my question...."Where's the NON-truth?"

It very appearent you know very little about welding. Maybe text book stuff, but very little about real world welding.

The bad thing about talking to a tech is most of them aren't welders, just customer service techs. The last one I talked to said you can only MIG aluminum w/ a spool gun. You can not use the feeder inside the welder like you can w/ steel. Even after I showed him you can do it, he still would not admit that it could be done. This was AFTER I had welded several pieces of aluminum by running the Al wire through the liner like you normally use w/ steel wire. Gee, what a dumbass!! He kept saying "That's not what they told us in trianing!!"

Paul

P.S. Have you ever even used a welder before?
