MIG gas problems.

admin

Im wondering what cfh to set my regulator to. I have a longevity migweld 200s. Ive set the regulator to 23 cfh. Is that too much? I run .035 wire. My shop is an open pole barn with occasional wind.

Reply:Make up a welding screen as a wind block. Here's some pics.  One of these will help. You can buy the harbor freight welding blanket and build the frame. they have different sizes.    http://www.harborfreight.com/6-ft-x-...ket-95015.html                                                                                                  http://www.harborfreight.com/8-ft-x-...ket-67701.html                                                 http://www.harborfreight.com/4-ft-x-...ket-67833.html http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...ages&FORM=IGRE

Reply:I don't think you'll need a T-8 wire, so for gas less flux core I really like Lincoln's NR-212, and Hobart's 21-B. But you may need a dedicated flux core gun to run them.

Reply:Swamp check ebay for welding screens/curtains. I saw some cheap. Some people who sell them don't know what they are. I'd see about building a couple frames for them. Or tarps in the meantime. It's not that the 75/25 is so expensive it's just a huge pain to stop what your doing to change bottles. That's a 70 mile round trip for me. I suggest using as little as possible, but enough.Arcon Workhorse 300MSPowcon 400SMTPowcon SM400 x 2Powcon SM3001968 SA200 Redface1978 SA250 DieselMiller Super 32P FeederPre 1927 American 14" High Duty LatheK&T Milwaukee 2H Horizontal MillBryan
Reply:i have limited space at my shop, theres barely enough room to roll my longevity aroun with 2 bottles it has on the back of it, let alone some big ol honkin welding screen.
