MIG yeah, not great on thin alloy...

 

I just picked up this torch. (not the 1 in the help wanted post itself, but the same torch this weekend).

Apparently the DHC 2000 / Dillon Mark III / Henrob can do alloy welding. I will be testing it out soon I hope!

Yep, the DHC 2000, etc, will do aluminium no worries. I've done everything from thin sheet up to a cut'n'shut gearbox bellhousing with it.

 

You will need flux, and I would suggest a good set of lenses / glasses specifically made for aluminium welding, otherwise the orange "flare" from burning flux makes it very difficult to see the weld puddle. I got a pair of these, they work great : http://shop.cobratorches.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=45&product_id=61

 

Sorry, a little off topic.....
