mig regulator PSI questions
:D If ya got a gas setup, might as well use it. Might be my next step too, curious to see the results.
Built my whole fence line out of steel tubing, and screwed the pickets on. For this and other odd jobs the flux core wire is great from a portability standpoint. But it is splattery. I have done a lot of flux core welding on my car projects with .035" wire it does a good job, but a lot of cleanup is needed. I have found that if you put aluminum tape on either side of where you are welding it helps to control the splatter and slag you need to remove.
I think i am going to be happy with my mig conversion , as i can use it with a mig setup, and if i need the portability, i just unhook the bottle from the welder, switch the polarity on the leads, swap in flux core wire, and use it as flux core out in my yard.
If i had known better when i bought this machine back 16 years ago i would have bought the lincoln pro mig 135 instead of the weld pak 100. For the additional $75 it cost over my weld pak 100 it would have had all the stuff for a mig setup minus the bottle.
The lincoln pro mig 140 i think is what lowes sells now, and it will run flux core or solid core wire, and its about $323. Thats a good deal when you concider the fact that i just payed $141 for a conversion kit for my old weld pak 100. Well you live and you learn.
I want to buy a plasma cutter next
