I made a stand for my Milwaukee portaband out of scrap aluminum and welded it using 115 volt power.
Building this stand was like making a fixture for a part.
You just have to figure out some touch points and ways for things to wedge into place.
I used scrap aluminum pieces and I decided to try welding it using 115 volt power so I had to pull a few tricks out of the bag like preheat, weld sequence, AC frequency setting, and welding beads on corners to add heat before making actual welds.
The PrimeWeld TIG225 did a really good job on 115 volt power but does even better when you use 230v.

Have been watching for news from you. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Just want to add to your support from a longtime welder who is going thru radiation for prostate cancer. Know that thousands of other welders are praying for your recovery and for comfort during your ordeal. The doctors and our Maker can do wonderous things. God bless and keep you.

Sorry to hear about the diagnosis and yes like many others I will pray for your recovery. Thank you for teaching me so much about the craft you have developed. I weld projects here in my shop TIG and MIG miller machines and YOU are the man that taught me how to do it!! so Thank you, Thank you,Thank you!!! You’re too damn tough to be beaten down by some thinking like leukemia. I always look forward to your videos because I always learn something that really helps me. If I can help please drop a line!
