Don't know anything about the helium though as never used it

I stand corrected. Dont quote me on it but i believe helium is used through a mig when welding ally

Ya helium argon mix is used on al but I don't know in what application. Always used argon on al mig

Yea makes it hotter/cleaner/faster as argo shield does for steel.
You can get different mixes. If you find you don't have enough grunt for heavy al run a mix, makes a huge difference but is more expensive.

Hey fellas. I ended up getting a mag mate 250p off trademe. But I don't have an owners manual and is quite like to have a look through one. Anyone know where to download one? I've Googled it and only come up with boc.com.au and it won't download for me

Yea I bought the one from Auckland, it's a bit rough but was cheap.
I got a bottle of argoshield from Boc for it

Right hand side, half way down the page is a link to the manual.

BOC - Magmate 250P

for general work just use co2, cheaper and more forgiving with metal cleanliness
