[AT] OT New welder

[James Peck]

When I first bought a Linde V160 GMAW welder in back in 1982, I used the .023" wire. I had to learn the hard way to rewap the coil of wire to protect it from rusting. You can get the wire conduit all full of a coating of rust dust from rusty wire.  Then all it will do is jam.

I bought a 0.030" wire conduit, 0.030" feed rollers, and wire and used the 0.030" size as a work around.

For body work it is well worth the extra expense and effort.

If you like the flux core, you'll love using the smaller dia wire and gas for auto sheet metal welding.


This is what I hear from most people. I just don't like the extra trouble and expense of tanks of gas to deal with.
