Pushing Aluminum Wire
Feeding aluminum wire through a push only system is very advantageous. Because push-only guns like D/F MAC-5 Machine Barrel can hook up to any manufacturer's wire feeder and power source, large 300 lb spools of wire can be used reducing expenses, down time, and wear and tear on the torch by the changing of spools as in a spool gun. A spool gun needs to have the roll changed after every pound of wire is used, compared to the large size spools used in a D/F Machine Barrel. Also, the chance of burn-back exists when the end of a spool is reached, so many operators stop when a few turns are left on the spool.

If you have any questions about the D/F MAC-5, or about push-welding aluminum wire in general, do not hesitate to contact the factory.
