Don't waste your money on a cheap non brand name unit. A mig will run flux
core. With mig you use gas and the flux core is a ton more money for the
wire. Yes look for somthing with a 1/4 " cap. It will raise the dutey
cycle(what percentage of the time you can run it) for thinner material.
Problems with Sears is parts and service. Whose unit will they be selling
next year with there name on it. I use and occasionally sell them and I do
sell a Hobart or Lincon to a guy who bought a cheap one last year and with
he wouldn't have. Often it isn't that much different $$.
GEORGE!!
