I need to do some work in the hell hole and only have a flux core welder. I'll be using lincoln wire and 18 guage to make a patch and I bought a new engine shelf for that side.

I just found a place close by that I can rent a gas mig for $139 for a week. I believe it will be worth the clean welds over the flux core.

QUOTE(RonnieJ @ Sep 6 2010, 04:11 PM)  I just found a place close by that I can rent a gas mig for $139 for a week. I believe it will be worth the clean welds over the flux core. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) the rental MIG might be a bit better than the one you own anyway so it may make better welds and have more control. besure to specify what thickness metal you will be welding so you get supplied with the right diameter wire, tips and and rollers. do you know the brand / model they rent? |
