Quicky 251 question

[383bigblock]

Hey guys,

I'm about to pull the trigger on buying a MM251 ( I talked myself out of the 210....for no real good reason) and I plan on buying it tomorrow. I need to pickup a spool of wire since I don't believe it comes with any. Can anyone tell me what size this beast can digest. The owners manual that I downloaded only refers to 1 and 2 pound spools. Can I put a 12lb spool in this thing or am I better off with a couple of smaller spools say in .030 and .035. I think most of what I will be welding will be fine with .035 (5/16 and up material).

Also, been constantly reading about feeding issues and how some are not happy with the M25 gun. Is it worth inquiring about the Bernard Centerfire swap out?? I know nothing about them or am I better just sticking with the M25.


Thanks
Michael
