What should I set my MIG gas meter to?
Just wondering. I tend to use it at around 10 with no wind, and 15 if there
is air movement. What's correct? STeve |

When I on/off the trigger, I get a "puff" of gass, stick out is about 3/8 or so pressing against a block of wood, pressing the trigger.... too much gas cools the weld...to little gas....bead don't look good, and its harder to make a bead... pratice xman |

Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |
