Is there a specific tungsten that should be used on mild steel? Or is it just kind of a user preference type deal?

Hey,
Glad your enjoying yourself.
Truly is a great forum.
They even respect guys with 4yrs experience, like me.
Don't know why though. :D

Anyway,
Mainly DC tungsten choice differs with machines.
Some like thoriated, some like ceriated, others lanthinated.
My miller Maxstar 200, liked ceriated, and my SW175 liked lanthinated.

Just your preference.

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.
