Why limit yourself to spray if that machine is capable of pulsed-spray? You can just use one gas for all your steel needs, and you're not limited to F/H positioning. I read that to mean he would be eliminating short-circuit and only using spray/pulse spray since the overall title was just "con...

OK, I see what you're saying. So the con is that it's impossible if you don't have the right machine. Yeah, there's really no work-around for that. I have a Millermatic 255 coming next week and I've been scrambling to get everything set up. There are so many degrees of freedom that it's difficult to...

Are there any cons for spray or pulse-spray? On heavier work, say 1/4" to 1/2" mild steel, in the shop, is there any reason not to use spray transfer?

Thanks for the input, guys. I ordered a Millermatic 255. Should be here this week. I expect to mainly use spray and pulse-spray transfer mode but I may try other processes that need other gas ratios. I already have argon for TIG. If I get a bottle of CO2, how hard is it to mix 90/10 using the usual ...

I have a Syncrowave 210 which is a multiprocess machine with only a spool gun. Soon I'll be working on some fairly heavy weldments built up out of 1/4, 1/2, and 5/8 plate. I need a more productive welding method and I'm thinking dual-shield in spray- transfer mode. But I need a MIG machine. I've hea...
