Hey guys ...
I have a few questions to ask. I was watching the video that came with the box and it mentioned pushing and pulling depending on thickness. What it didn't say was what was thickness threshold was. What is the thichness range to go from one methond to another? Also could someone please tell me the pros and cons of .030, .035 and .040 wire? I went last Friday to buy the wire and the gas and the guy told me .035 was more common. Why would one type be more common than the other? I found some 1/8 thick steel brackets to weld together and it prompted a question. On 1/8 thick steel about how deep is a good penetration? In other words if I cut my brackets perpendicular to weld and expose a cross section, how far into the 1/8 should the weld go?
Thats it for now ....
Thanks for your input and help.
