I have been using .023 for years, on my Lincoln SP100 (which I no longer have), and now using it on my current Thermadyne FP-120. It seems that I read on here that .030 would push more amps/heat into the welds due to its larger contact area. Anybody have any thoughts on this? I know that I run on the highest tap and about 7-8 on wire speed now with acceptable results, but I think excessive weld reinforcement/ bead height, especially on outside corner welds. All my mig welding is 1/8 or less, and no critical applications, just fab of items for myself using refugees from the scrap bin. I guess its mostly a cosmetic issue, and my lack of incentive for using a grinder BTW FP-120 welder has alleged 88 max amp output, and I use c-25 gas. Yes I could run straight co2, but that grinder thing again. I welcome any feedback on this, my spool is getting low.

Reply:.023 and CO2 With the correct volts and wirefeed will not have any spatter. JohnSMAW,GMAW,FCAW,GTAW,SAW,PAC/PAW/OFCand Shielding Gases. There all here. :
Reply:I completely agree with the guys. Stick to .023.And then, after so much work...... you have it in your hand, and you look over to your side...... and the runner has run off. Leaving you holding the prize, wondering when the runner will return.
