Miller 350P Aluma-Pro Mig Welder

Does anyone have any experience using this welder? I'm looking for a mig that welds aluminum like no other and can use it to weld steel also.

why not tig?....i havent looked at the welder you mentioned, for mig ally the best results come from a machine with pulse and a push-pull gun...imho...

Im redoing the inside of my trailer and have alot of aluminum welding to do. This welder comes with a push-pull gun and comes setup for welding aluminum. I have a Sycrowave 250DX Tig welder and will use that for some things, but the mig is 3 times faster.

i checked out the miller, looks the goods...another feature to look for is a 3 step trigger mode..ie, hot start, meduim weld,cold finish?...ideal for ally welding..it looks like the miller has a hot start only?...i run 'fronius' inverter units here in my jobbing shop...they have a synergic mode,( one dial for amps/feed ), three step trigger with adjustment of amps in each step...adjustable frequency in pulse mode...heaps more adjustments with a feature to save settings as a 'job'..they even have on-the-fly adjustment at the torch..they've been faultless for 7 years now...but were $$pricey$$

I use that welder on a regular basis for MIG welding aluminum and love it. We weld 1/2" AL plate all day long with it and it works great. I don't know how it works for steel because we have this machine set up strictly for AL. It is a little tricky to tune at first but once you dial it in it works great.

We have on running off of 480V.. talk about UV radiation. If you're able to bundle up like an eskimo to weld than it might work for you, but here in AZ we like our sunburns from the sun, and to weld without 45 lbs of leathers.

Yes it will weld aluminum very efficiently, but probably not what you're thinking. It will put a giant bead down (that to me looks nice), but you will not have the stacked dime look by any means.

The only thing that I can tell you after using this type of wire feed set up for aluminum is that instead moving all over the palce like you would with steel, you would start the weld,make a puddle, move half the puddle in travel, make another puddle, move half the puddle, make another puddle, move half the puddle ,make another puddle, move half the puddle, ect,ect,ect, try to move in a straight line while you weld without moving up and down and the weld will look like a kick-ass weld. I used to work for a company that made stages for rock and roll bands back in the 80's and 90's and this is one of the ways we used to weld the stages.
