Not new to aluminum MiG but learning tig
I build gangways and floats using primarily 6061-6063 with an average wall of 3/16 to 1/4. I’m running 3 millermatic 255 and have two old school 252 welders all with aluma pro 35’ guns for MiG welding. Trying my hand at tig for stair tread (1.5x1.5 box 3/16 wall) I’m melting 3/32 tungsten and an old timer suggested changing tungsten to 1/8 and changing the gas lense. This followed by the tig machines I have are old and tired. So what would you suggest for a new tig welder? Preferably experience over keyboard princess but I’m open to ideas. USA running 220 could rewire for 480v. Plus if you start with my grand pa once told me…
Thanks for the investment advice. Pictures if requested. I have builds from Maine to Florida.
