[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 294015, member: 6937"] Spoolguns are almost a requirement to do aluminum, as it's a real PITA with a conventional MIG. The spoolgun itself is about 800 dollars, and then it has to have the power source, either a WC-24, or a WC-115. The WC-24 is about 350 dollars, I think the WC 115 is about 600 or so. I'm using the WC-24 to run my spoolgun, as that runs off the Regency 250's amphenol plug. It will also run from the amphenol plug on the road welder. But I often wish I had bought a WC-115 control box instead. With that, you don't have to run the amphenol from the machine, you plug it into any 110 volt power source, and tap off the positive lead from the welder. Amphenol extension leads are very expensive, regular extension cords aren't. [/QUOTE]
