I am not familiar with the rods you are referring to. The stick welding aluminum rods do work but not very well. Tig welding will not work as this is a DC only tig welder.

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.

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.

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

same item, will weld with stick, mig or flux core wire or tig weld. process is accomplished by changing leads, type of gas used and electrodes

absolutely...but you may need to weld both sides though and/or use a circular motion and highest current setting. May need to play around with wire feed speed as well. I'd practice on some scraps first...

I welded up a good bit of aluminum for an RV door fabrication project. Use straight Argon gas and aluminum wire. Run it hot and fast. Took some practice and online research for techniques, but I eventually got really nice welds with good penetration.

Yes it can. If you add a spool gun and Argon gas it will weld aluminum I've been told. I have never tried it tho.

Hi- The answer to your question is no. You can only use cast iron or pots and pans the Nuwave offers. No aluminum, because the Nuwave has to make a connection you know like a plus and minus. I ust cast iron pots and pans I like the way the cook. I hope this answers your question.

this tool welds very well if you use the right material. If you dont know what kind of material you are welding then tet it on a small scrap piece first. in the kit you will have a list of vendors that sell all types of plastic welding rods.

You can if you get the adapter to use larger spools.http://www.hobartweldshop.com/servlet/the-35/mig-welder-wire-hub/Detail

It cannot weld aluminum. This welder is DC only and aluminum requires AC. It will work fine for stainless steel and regular steel.

Hi, thanks for your inquiry. This is designed as basically a bolt-on kit, no welding should be required.

I've never use it on metal. I bought this unit specifically to weld aluminum. I've never weld any thing before (metal or else). But I was able to weld very thin aluminum (1/8" and 1/16") aluminum. The chart settings are a bit off but with couple of minutes try and error, it works. I would choose one with many settings vs capped ones. Like I said above, it makes me almost a pro instantly.

Yes you can I welded a pp kayak with great results. I used both clear pp rods I bought online (a handful come with the kit)and the black fiber flex that came with the kit.

Google welding chart.you can use .035 or .030. Just feed and temp settings are different.Use 100 percent Argon with aluminum.Good luck

Im sorry. I do not know what SHOT Welding is?? I use this welder for simple amateur ARC Welding and it seems to work very well. I do notice it works better with thinner welding rods 1/16 inch or 3/32 work best.
