Anyone have problems getting the Miller Spoolmate to spray arc. I have the Millermatic 211 Autoset and it seems to only want to short circuit transfer especially on thinner metal. When I try to fine tune the adjustment I either get burn back or too much wire feed. There really is no happy medium.

Yes 14 gauge aluminum. I called miller and they are sending me a new spool gun because the guy I talked to couldn't figure out why it was acting that way. He said it may be a programming problem with the gun.Last edited by michaelwilson777; 01-13-2015, 02:33 PM.

Miller Spoolmate 100 problems
I'm running straight argon. I usually Tig aluminum but bought the mig welder and spool gun til I get enough money for a Tig machine. I was always taught to spray arc aluminum and yes this machine is capable of it. It wont even run properly on 1/8" and thicker. It gives me a very cold start and the weld comes out like crap. I use plenty of tacks as well so the metal is plenty warm to start my weld. I will see how the new gun runs when I get it on Thursday. It's definitely not like running the pulse mig machine I have at work haha.
