Why is it?
Every small and medium sized MIG welder I see has the wire loaded on
the right hand side of the machine and the wire unrolls off the bottom
of the spool. Yet every spool of MIG wire I have seen that fits in
these machines only has one label and this label is on the side of the
spool that faces in so the spool must be removed in order to see what
kind of wire it is.
Sheesh!

No matter to me. My baby MIG only gets one kind of wire. .30 generic
flux
core.



Today I was running .030 silicon bronze. Besides the silicon bronze,
I have and run .030 4043 and 5356 aluminum, .023 and .030 70S2 steel,
.035 flux core hardfacing , and .025 304 and 309 SS wires. Using my
little Lincoln SP 125Plus. Great little machine. I love it.

I run 4043 and 5356 in my spool gun on the bigger machine. The labels show
nicely. Well, except on the spools that the labels fell off of and I don't
know what they are anymore.
