Can you use a spool gun on any welder?
The first one is very important: Your Spoolgun must be compatible with your welding machine to work. Unfortunately, there’s no “universal” spool gun standard. Every brand does their spool guns a little differently (even between different machines of the same brand).
Can the Lincoln LE31MP weld aluminum?
Requiring common 120 volt input power, the LE31MP® 140® can be used almost anywhere. With simple two knob control, the machine is easy to set up for gasless flux-cored welding for deep penetration on thicker steel, gas-shielded MIG welding on thin gauge steel, stainless or aluminum, stick welding or DC TIG welding.
Are Lincoln Welders good?
Lincoln Electric is popular and a world leader when it comes to high-quality welders. One of the strengths of Lincoln Electric is the quality of the welding torches and guns that they offer. Moreover, in the specific models, they offer you’ll find TIG welders, Stick welders, MIG welders, and multi-process welders.

Do you have to reverse polarity when welding aluminum?
In AC welding, the arc’s action when the electrode is positive and the workpiece is negative, called reverse polarity, breaks up the oxide on the surface of the aluminum, making welding much easier. Unfortunately, reverse polarity doesn’t provide good weld penetration.
Do I need a spool gun to weld aluminum?
The answer is yes and no, depending on the user’s preference, you do not necessarily need a spool gun to weld aluminum. Depending on the application, some have found success in taking a ten- or twelve-foot MIG gun and running a Teflon liner through it, then calling it a day.
