<< Listers,
I am in the market for a welder, and would like some advise. I have heard
of the MIG with the flux core wire, which does not require a gas sheild
from a separate tank.
Has anyone used this setup and if so how did it work for you. What are the
advantages and disadvantages.
Jack,
I agree with what Scott Helms has written.
I use a make named Clarkes. I use 9mm wire and there is an option whereby
one can use a gas canister and connect it to a plastic tube fitted at the
back of the machine. With the gas canister you reverse the polarity.
It is a good set up for the home user and so simple to use.
The machine is labelled "no gas".
Don't forget the eye shield.
