I have a Chicago 132T 110V Dual F/C Mig welder that I bought on sale about 6 months ago... I have been trying to weld the hell hole with the flux core, and I am having all kinds of problems, so I want to convert my welder to MIG, using argon..
Hoping to get better, cleaner welds, and no burn through - The welder is supposedly set up for this, but no instructions on how to do this, or what parts needed, are given.. I need some help in regard to what parts I need...(Size of tank recomended, type of regulator, etc..) (an 80CF tank is only twice the cost of a 20CF) One thing that concerns me is the hose on the back of the welder for the Argon is tiny... about an 1/8" in diamator - tops The model that replaced the one I bought has a hose that looks like it is 3/8"... Please help me out here guys...and don't flame me for having a cheap ass 110v welder...Please? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
