welding wire

ight i need ur help i have had a welder for some time and i can weld and all but the wire thing confuses me ok i have a lincoln electric mig welder with no argon attached can some one tell me a good online store to get it from abnd what kind is the best for structual fabrication right now it has .30 in
thanks for the help
derek

flux core i take it ? go to lowes they sell welding wire

wait so flux core wire is for mig and i need good quality too umm do u kno ne places on line b.c hter areent ne lowes around me

also what is flux core is that non argon or is it jus flux cored

if your welding is anywhere as shitty as your typing you dont need to find any.....

flux cored is not MIG. flux core is flux core. MIG stands for Metal Inert Gas. meaning you have an inert gas shielding the weld from the atmosphere (argon, CO2, argon/CO2 mix). MIG welders have external source of gas.

what is the model # of your lincoln welder?

If it is the 100 series wether it be a weldpak 100 or the 100HD, or some other lincoln 100, don't bother spending money on the gas hookup. the max you'll be able to weld with that welder with a gas hookup is 1/8th. just stay with flux core, use .035 flux core wire for thicker metals. it'll work better than a .030 wire.

if you have say a lincoln 3200HD, 135, 175, etc. then yes go buy a gas bottle. it'll be well worth it.

i have a hobart 125, will that work for what you guys are doing to your trucks, i mean will it hold up, im soon to get a gas kit.

o thanks i get it now i have teh lincoln weld pack 100hd

yo ur jus mad b.c ur truck is shit
shut the fuck up

yea bro just get some .035 wire, it'll help on thicker stuff. i have a lincoln weldpak 100, and it is what i used on my truck. just takes twice as long to weld beads because you have to sit on them longer to get them to penetrate all the way and make a good fat, flat bead.
