[TheForge] MIG Welders

[Lon Humphrey]

i would not be afraid to try this with 250 amp mig welder even a junk 
lincoln one ...IMHO i like miller but i know guys that hate millers and  the 
only hobart welder ive ever used is a portable stick welder and its too 
small

just bevel your edges make sure its clean and go like hell

you said +" So Lon, should I get the 251 or the 210? " not sure what your 
talking about ... i missed half the thread most i dont read but i caught the 
part about gasses and plate thickness
