By the way, for anyone interested, the label on the MM200 says "assembled in the USA".

I tried it out last night for a few minutes. I didn't really have any scraps that I could use. First time I used lift-arc. Seemed to work pretty well.I got some 1/8 steel today so I'm going to try again this afternoon. I found the Weldcraft AK2 tig accessory kit on Ebay for $25. We'll see what it looks like when it gets here.

Spoolmate 100 arrived this afternoon. Hooked it up, loaded it and tried to run some beads on some scrap 1/4" aluminum I have. Didn't work worth a ****. The Hobart Spoolrunner I had for the HH210 ran great so I was wondering why I couldn't get a good bead going. I checked everything, pre-heated the aluminum, cleaned it, etc., but still no luck. The gun kept sputtering and popping and the wire seemed to melt before it got near the aluminum. Then it dawned on me...with the Multimatic, you have to enter setup and calibrate the spoolgun. I did both the 100ipm & 300ipm tests. After some minor adjustments I got it dialed in. Tried another bead and...much better. Not perfect yet, but part of the problem could be that I had it on auto-set and it only goes up to 3/16" for aluminum. I tweaked the voltage & wire speed and it got a little better. I probably should have turned the auto-set off and just tried to dial it in manually. I'll try that tomorrow or Friday. It did run much better though after calibration and a little adjustment.
