Re: John , from NY. Hello everyone I would lurk around here a while and read up on a lot of post and use the search function to your advantage. It will all depend on what you will be welding. You will have to see what the welder is setup or in the way of wire size probably .030 - .035. a Argon CO2 mix (75/25) will be your best all around gas for mild steel. You can also get a flux core wire and weld without the gas for now to get you started. You will have to look in the side of the machine and make sure the gun and ground are connected in the correct spots (there will be instructions and maybe even a pretty picture letting you know which is correct for use with and with out gas)

John , from NY. Hello everyone My name is John, I have been in the recycling industry for a few years now. I am totally new to welding and have never really welded before. I am looking forward to learning a lot here on WW. I just purchased (from a friend for a really good price) a lincoln weld pak 180hd mig wire feed welder. 230v power http://www.lincolnelectric.com/en-us...roduct=K2515-1 I am excited to start using it, but dont have much knowledge on welders/types of welding, only the basics. MIG vs Arc? wire feed? which gas to use? HELP! I am familiar with safety because of always using an acetylene cutting torch. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
