Welding sheet metal with millermatic 175

If you can TIG or know someone who can TIG I would make three seperate pieces, so three seperate frames out of 1" box aluminum. Should be strong and light. I would still go with wood (plywood) for the top as it can handle scuffing that would happen in transport and assembly/disassembly. ...

Hey guys,
I have just started learning to weld with wire feed. I have a millermatic 174 running argon and .30 wire. I have successfully welded metals from 1/16 to 1/4 using various voltages and wire speeds.

My question is, What settings and wire thickness do I need to weld...
