Set on correct amperage, yes. Check the instructions on the aluminum rods package for correct settings

You can weld the plate onto a metal cart. Please remove the wheel before welding.

Mostly for welding Aluminum --requires an Aluminum wire spool and Argon gas (and a welder, in this case a Hot Max). Works great for me.

Out of the box NO - I tried the aluminum rods without any success. It is DC but with a TIG torch and gas tank you can. What I have read online you can weld aluminum with DC but it is better with an AC unit. AS of yet I have not had the chance to set up my attachments to verify this.

I used j-B Weld. it did a great job. I have also used it on several other things including fixing the plastic molded hing on a waffle maker. the stuff just works.

Most likely it would if you can identify the type plastic you are trying to repair to ensure compatibility with the plastic "welding rods". I have not found this product to be useful where appearance is important. It is difficult to sand and grind smooth and still have remaining strength.

This machine is DC only and can not TIG weld aluminum. To TIG weld aluminum you'll need a machine with AC capability. This machine can stick weld with aluminum rods but I wouldn't recommend it. I would look into a TIG welder with AC/DC capability.

No, Flame welding has it's place but an Arc Welder is what you need. You may want to consider a low end TIG Wire Welder. TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas which reduces oxidation as you weld.

I have welded plate and aluminum with mine. I purchased the spool gun also. It welds very good on either one. I'm using 100% argon with the aluminum. I'm very pleased and do recommend.

Not with it stock. You cant weld aluminum material with solid steel or flux core wire, as they will not bond well with the aluminum and the weld will not be very strong. Your MIG welder will need to have a spool gun installed as well, because the aluminum wire is too soft to push from the machine, and wont make it up the feed.

It welds aluminum fine . Ive done several jobs with it for aluminum, all small stuff nothing over 1/8 thickness .never had a problem with the machine just takes a few trys to find the sweet spot for the balance and frequency

An experienced welder can do it but on thin steel your better off using GMAW or FCAW

Maybe for a tack weld. Other than that, too much heat would be generated. If it was me I wouldn't do it. it is way easier just to clamp the material to a steel welding table with steel clamps.

Your machine would need to have provisions for a spool gun, or you would need to adapt it to work with what you have. I bought a few parts to use 2 12 volt car batteries, welds aluminum well but the nozzle fell apart pretty quickly, its a consumable though.

This machine can only weld mild steel, as there is not much selection for wire. While it might actually fuse the stainless together, the weld WILL rust.

You are playing with fire to try and change this item. It is sturdy as is, but the rods appear firmly fixed if not welded. Keep looking for the size you need it will be a better bet.

No its not suitable to weld much of anything. It will also Cost you more to setup for a tig package then it will to just buy a new lincoln welder.
