I have a Miller 175, I want to do light Al on the cheap. My buddy has a pontoon boat type stuff, I'm not trying to do dump body repairs.

Anyway can I use the Hobart DP-3035 Spoolgun with this adapter?

Adapter says it works with the Hobart Handler 175, and I'm under the impression that the handler and miller are the same machine, just a different color...

Thanks!

I don't know if that spool gun would work with your welder, but have you ever tried to weld aluminum with a mig? I bought a spool gun for my lincoln 255 because I wanted to weld aluminum. I spent several hours trying to run a bead on some plate that was about 1/32". I either could not get it to run a bead, or it burnt through. I have run a decent weld on some 1/8" aluminum, but nothing thin. I don't know which part of the boat you are thinking about welding, but you may end up making a mess out of it.
