A little correction
Most quality mig welders sold in the US have a provision to use coated wire (no gas needed)
When switching wires the polarity has to be changed also
from positive DC (gas)
to negative DC (no gas)
thats easly done with jumpers located next to the wire spool
The gas we use is called 75/25 shielding gas
75% argon, 25% co2
If you are to use the mig to weld Aluminium you will need to get 100% co2 (and a spool gun)
Now,
Here is my experiance....
Using an arc welder is an ART!
it takes YEARS to perfect
It takes even longer to get profesional looking beads
Me?.....I never got the hang of it...to me its only good for making holes in metal:-)
A mig is perfect for starters,
Its eazy to learn on, and its eazy to get profesional results in a short time
Perfect for lazy people like me!
Get a 175 amp or larger and you wont be sorry
you wont have to upgrade, I still have my first mig...a 135 amp
I keep it for sheet metal work
фз
, thats all its good for.
On the subject of gas bottels
Get the bigest one you can afford
fillups are alot cheaper that way
On proper clothing:
A leather(welding) jacket is the best
But in the Texas heat it can be a torture device
A long sleeve shirt will work, with leather gloves
I use a spray bottle to spray water on the arms
I will prevent you from looking like a heroin addict

Ira,

I'm allways suspect on equipment that is made in counties...
lets just say outside of the free world.
