With all the welding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) coming up on the -6 car I purchased the MIG conversion kit for my Lincoln. It is much cleaner and has better penitration but I'd like to get some feed back on where to set the PSI for the CO2/ Argon mix. Want to have enough but not waste it either.
seems to work well on 16 gage steel with 20psi |
