So of course I ended up getting a welder bigger than I was initially looking for, my new linc 175 should be here before the weekend.
So which gas should I get? From my searching it seems CO2 is cheaper and hotter (sounds good, I like cheap and it sounds like hotter might be better if I'm trying to mig light plate?) C25 makes the prettiest welds and is a good all-arounder, unimix is considered the norm?
Also, trying to make an extension cord for the welder. I've got hundreds of feet of 10/4 600v SOOW laying around work from old snowguns, I can use that for a 50' cord, right?
