Hey All
I need some help with my mig welder. I mostly use Tig welding in the shop. And have 2 stick welders one an engine drive. I just bought a used Millermatic 250 mig welder. I have a structual steel welding job and I wanted to use the mig for that. I have done quite a bit of Innersheild & stick welding but haven't done any bare wire welding in years.
My ?s are.. I tried using argon since I allready have a tank that I use for the tig. Welds look like hell. Don't start well. Using .023 wire. Will probably switch to .035 Do I need to order a 75/25 tank? Will this cure the problems? I also want to use this welder at my farm for maint welding.
The structual job is at my daughters house she wants an open metal staircase built. Thought it would be better to use the bare wire than the innersheild from an apperance standpoint but maybe I'm wrong. Alot of the welding will be out of position. What do y'all say
Thanks
Scott
