That Lincoln will run a spool-gun just fine, in DC+, and easily weld 1/4". You'll be stunned what a good-quality spool-gun can cost, though. I'd have to do Craigslist or Ebay. You'll still be adding in a bottle of 100% argon and possibly a flowmeter if you haven't one with your Miller. Be awar...

What you have is a good and economical set-up for steel. Small GMAW for the thin stuff and a capable SMAW welder for thicker sections.

In my TIG class aluminum was the only metal in any position that caused me any frustration. A few classes later in auto-body ...
