Default Oxy/Settling welding equipment


I have a little Hobart (135) that I bought to build my shop.
It's only had cored wire in it - never had shielding gas as
I was working outside.

So I don't know first hand.
But I'm curious about what I've read...

Is the quality of a gas shielded weld all that much better than it
is worth the expense?

HUGE difference in appearance of finished weld. HUGE.

FCAW stronger, though.
