Nice video!! 👍🏼🔥 Just did a job with a spoolgun on aluminum and 5356 wire. Kept sooting real bad so I turned the gas up to 45 CFH &it knocked the soot way down.
Looking at getting one of those soon for my bobcat. Currently run a millermatic 211. And for some of the thicker pontoon lifts just can’t quite get enough.
Does your Spoolmatic-2 have a gas valve in the gun? I’ve got a Spoolmatic 30a that I’ve had for close to 30 years, and it has the valve in the gun, so the gas hose goes straight to the flow meter and not to the machine (or WC in your case). For what it’s worth, I had to certify on mig aluminum - unlimited thickness in all positions with X-ray testing. Stringer beads were specified in the WPS because they’d found that the majority of failed X-ray tests were on plates with a weave! Much more trash in those welds than stringer beads! “Discontinuities” as they refer to them! Testing in accordance with the AWS D15.1 standard.
I know you said any constant-current welder and I know that you used to have a Hobart 225 that I've been watching that long I have a Hobart 225 will that set up work with one of those
@Derbador the weldor I'm a guy just starting out. Right now I have a generator and titanium unlimited 200. Thinking about getting used hobart champion 145 for 600 but I see you upgrade to the sa200. I can get a ranger 8 for 400. Cranks and runs fine but doesn't weld. What say you since you've been where I've started.
Hi bro, hope you doing great. I watch your all the videos and love your work. I just bought a red face with copper winding sa 200 its 1949s machine and i got a linclon LN 25 suitcase. Im not a pipe welder i just do structural welding with iron workers. Im just wondering how can i run my suitcase on SA 200 or any accessories to buy in order to get the job done. Every advice would be great help for me . Thankyou so much and keep it up
G’day mate do you adjust the amperage and volts on the sa-200 or the Miller control box? Looking forward to seeing your setup for your suitcase. Now that you have the Miller control box will your suitcase run off it for cv welding? Where I live we can’t do to-code welds with cc machines any more have to use cv and I prefer my old welder to the new ones
@@derbadortheweldor8940 good deal, I got the old Airco miget spool gun and put at AEC 200 Heavy duty goose neck assembly. Then run it with a WC 3. Think it is a WC 3
I know it’s amazing how technology has evolved. But to be fair the wc24 only works with machines that have a 14pin the wc3 and wc115 work with any cc or cv machine.
The world needs more honest and kind people like you man. Keep up the good work.
Hey Derb. I remember when you were struggling to get ahead. I'm glad to see your doing Great.
Aluminum works best in pulse virticle up. See ya.

I’ll have to give that a shot I was using around 30cfh in this video
By far your best video to date. That was pretty innovative on your part. Get it tuned in and do a part 2. ;)

Hell yeah that vertical up looks damn good to me. I like your video's man we need more
Hell yes man keep us updated. I'm gonna have to try this with my sae-400
Curious if you have done this with your sae-400. I have a Sam-400 and want to hook my Lincoln spool gun.
Looks great! Time to invest in another hose and coupling along with longer leads to get out there farther.
Already ordered just waiting for Amazon to deliver it

Have you experienced any cons with this setup. Like over heating etc..?
I know you said any constant-current welder and I know that you used to have a Hobart 225 that I've been watching that long I have a Hobart 225 will that set up work with one of those
can you ahow more clearly how so you hook up the cables?

Great looking for to see more of this

See the new gas bottles. They have built in regulators, that don't need any adjustment throughout the bottle
I have the same set up for my bobcat 225g works great but tips are high as hell
I know! But I guess it’s the trade off of having a low initial investment cost.
Call Profax about getting the tips or upgrading to heavy duty tips.
Look at there online catalog.
@@robertoobregon3750 That’s what I did I got mine from profax on Amazon. Still expensive but not quite as expensive as Miller brand.
@@derbadortheweldor8940 good deal, I got the old Airco miget spool gun and put at AEC 200 Heavy duty goose neck assembly. Then run it with a WC 3.
Think it is a WC 3
Can you clip the voltage sensing wire to the ground at the machine? Would it make hardly any difference? It would be handier a lot of times.
Yes, I run like that quite alot
You hiring for welders? I have my own welder and rig
The video that just broke the internet…. sa 200 going up in price
Aint it amazing how they shrunk the controllers over the years. A wc-3 and the wc-24 is 85% smaller.. but interesting video
I know it’s amazing how technology has evolved. But to be fair the wc24 only works with machines that have a 14pin the wc3 and wc115 work with any cc or cv machine.
@@derbadortheweldor8940 never owned a cc machine so this was an interesting video. Have you tig'd aluminum off your 200 yet?
Yeah but the spool gun is the way to go especially for field work
Kinda reminds me of the arc pig
Not a redface
Yes it is. It has a red face panel
