New To Using MIG

[bindian]

Thanks guys.
I was gonna get a stick welder, as that was all I knew and an older friend that worked at TSC said to go MIG instead. No school either cause I work nights and I don't wanna eat up Saturdays. Besides $$$$ My hat is a $108 Hobart hat. I'm happy with it.

I'm using the Hobart E71T11 .030 flux core wire. I have decided to get the gas hooked up. Just need a bottle full of 75/25 and a spool of solid wire ER70S6. The side panel on the 210 MVP states this will make a smoother weld. I do need brighter light. I am hesitant on adjusting the hat for a lower shade. But will look into it. I never was able to write stright across a pae without lines. So this is showing up in dragging left or to the right.
hugs, Brandi

Brandi what brand, and number of wire are you using?
I've had really good luck with Hobart's 21B.

The cheap Chinese auto darkening helmets the Reaction time 0.25

Miller auto Reaction Time 1/20,000

Hobart Reaction Time, 1/12,000, 1/25,000, 1/30,000.

Lincoln Reaction Time: 40 microseconds

3M Speedglas Reaction Time: 0.1 milliseconds

Try a gold plated lens, never need batteys

Brandi when you switch to Mig, I really like Lincoln's Superarc L-56 wire.

That wire needs 100% CO2. I was gonna buy a bottle of 75% argon, 25% CO2.

Brandi I run it with C-25 / 75% argon, 25% CO2.

Oh...okay. You have gave me two choices to try. So this with gas and the Hobart B21 for without gas, right?

I just bought the same hobart 210 welder last week. I'm enjoying playing with it. I have a 60 cu ft bottle with c25. You will like the clean welds it makes over the Flux core wire. Much less smoke as well. Shielding gas welding is best indoors without wind. I'd leave the fan off unless you are out of the direct draft.
