- Quick set up and run down of the Miller Welders Alumapro gun on my Multimatic 255 running pulse aluminum. If you do any aluminum mig welding I highly recommend trying this set up out. Probably the best pulse ally mig set up for the price.
Miller, great welders. I have millermatic 225 mig. Purchased in 1988, still going strong
Those welds looks awesome for Aluminum Mig. Thanks for posting
that weld bead is so sweet! Good job!
Wow awesome machine ,damn.. Now I do believe there is a hot start function and crater fill and you will be perfect. Thx for the video seeing that I am considering this set up for an upcoming work barge build . regards scn
Could you do some verticle up and overhead videos ? NICE welds THANKS
For those that don't know 4953 is fucking butter. Its only available through Hobart but its freaking awesome wire
you mean 4943?? the Maxal patent ran out last year ... its like 40403 with the addition of 0.5% magnesium in it ...
@@ZILAwelds yep. Fat fingered it. 4943
Thank you
Looks good. I have the same machine setup ❤
Wes, where is your 100% Argon gas connection. On the front panel of the Multimatic 255. How are you welding without gas. I did not see the small side hose connected to the front panel of the machine. I do t think this is a gas thru dinse connection. Is it? I have watched all the mig videos and with the MDX 250 mig gun there is still a small side hose to connect the gas to the MDX gun. Pls advise ..... How?????
The Alumapro gun hooks into the drive roll block a normal MIG gun. Uses the internal gas solenoid and gas regulator. So just hook up a bottle like normal.
Awesome good stuff!
Any reviews on the 255? I'm looking at one now but it's hard to find any real world reviews on the 255
I’ve owned 3. It’s an amazing powerhouse of a machine. Pulse mig feature has made my life so easy. Run L-59 wire in it with 90/10 gas and let it eat. I have literally gotten jobs because my customers can’t do the welding without excessive spatter from short circuit with their machines… I pulse the jobs and have next to no spatter. Makes production welding a dream. There’s a small learning curve to pulse but it’s well worth learning.
I tried using the exact same welder you're using, and the trigger likes to stick. So when I'm done welding I have to pull back fast, and pull out the trigger before the wire stickout gets to be about 3 feet long.
It’s a setting. You need to change it from 4t to 2t
I was thinking about getting into welding and was looking at the Millermatic 255 mig machine. Do you think I should get the Multimatic instead ? I have a AC/DC buzz box for stick welding but perhaps I will never do stick welding if mig welding is so much easier. I'll be working outside most of the time so perhaps the stick welder has advantages. Or perhaps the multimatic is a better machine to use for stick welding ? Can you please offer me your insights ?
Multimatic is a great machine but the tig feature is very limited.
You don't have to wiggle your hand anymore it's a whole point of pulse and synchro pulse these day's it does it for you...
Impressive!!!
Nice quick video, I have the 350P with the alumapro on pulse as well. And definitely get porosity more than I'd like, never been able to find a 100 conclusion as to why. And I have tried just about everything I can think of other than maybe my wire but I doubt that's my issue. Straight argon 38CFH and I'm typically running IPM above or below depending on my material thickness (s) ever run into that problem or recommendations?
Are you pushing or pulling?
Only reason I say that is I run a 350p everyday and dont get that problem. Without running it the wrong direction or something interuppring the gas
Try dropping your flow to about 22 to 28 cfm. I never weld over 32 cfm, it creates too much turbulence and that can cause you to lose the gas envelope.
@@kregbelcastro2749 I always push unless I'm in a tight spot at that point I spot weld or have a little side drag. 90-95% of the time I push.
@@ryanskare6670 I have gone down to maybe 20 a few times to try, I'll try it again. I couldn't find what the wire manufacturer recommends for pulse mig, found the regular mig. The heat input of regular mig bends the absolute crap out of even heavy duty stuff I'm welding. Definitely way less porosity other than occasional start and stop. Again I'm not trained on mig but it's great for production and most fabrication. I will try that tho, definitely have plenty of scrap laying around to test.
Impressive! 💪👍❤️
Thought my sound card went out. Next channel.
Did you have to set the SUP value somewhere? or is it automatic?
How long was that AlumaPro? 15’?
How does it go without the push pull gun on aluminium? Have you ever tried it?
We just purchased this machine and we've been trying 5356 wire 035 through the stock Mig gun and it works beautiful. Not one bird nest. We tried it on regular and pulse, on thick and then aluminum and it's perfect. On 4043 wire, it may bird nest because it softer
Tom Mccarron thanks for letting me know, I’d be using 5356 also if I was to get one, is it simple to set up the setting for aluminium or a lot of trial and error?
The pull rollers are there for a reason, I'd think you'd want to run a pretty short lead and keep your lead pretty straight or your gonna find it struggling to feed 4043
I've been welding almost 40 years. I'm so sick and tired of people thinking that the " row of dimes" look means it's a good weld.
If you try to whip the puddle to create that look when you take a certification test they will fail you.
Whipping the puddle creates lack of fusion at the toe and the root and it creates a weak weld.
40 years ago, we were just inventing the wheel. Welcome to 2020 Captain 1920.
my hero I happen to agree with you, I believe the Internet destroyed Welding because if you see a weld pedal that doesn’t look pretty like you do on weld porn (respectfully), it’s interpreted as a terrible weld
my hero I know, but some people like that...to me it’s like a series of tack welds
So make a video and show us how it should look 🤷🏻♂️
racrx7 ........................(tack welds)
Will this set-up Spray-transfer?
I believe when you mig aluminum you are in a spray mode. You will here the infamous hissing sound of spray.
Show me some thin material like less than 1/8 inch.
$5000 set up. Thanks but no thanks,
Why do all these welders use 1/4" or thicker material when thats easy to weld good beads, please show a video using .090GA
Beauts
Run 1/8” butt weld short circuit and make it look good. Then ill be impressed…
You shouldnt run aluminium in short circuit mode. Ever
There is no 6061 mig wire lol
The problem i see in all these new miller255 vids is NOONE is actually WELDING , you are laying a bead in the corner of ANGLE that is already joined . Get 2 pieces of scrap and WELD them together using the machine . I know you were just doing a demo. I get it , but i want to see what the machine does in real life . Or you aren't capable or the machine isn't ?
Check my instagram. @wicked_welding and you can see i weld with machine all the time.
I looked at ALL of your instagram and STILL didnt see one picture of you doing aluminum welding with the setup you showed in the vid , thanks for wasting my F'in time Idiot !!
Thank you, great coment.
It could be better. 🤷🏽♂️
Joking right??
you mean spend longer than 5 mins setting it up... any weld that is done by hand could be better.
