Hey Gang,
I am about to purchase a Millermatic 211 and the salesman says there is little benefit in getting a Argon/Co2 bottle for shielding over the flux core wire. I have a cheap harbor freights mig welder and never had an opportunity weld with shielding gas.
Any thoughts?
The bottle full of gas is about $190.00 and refills are $30.00.
The salesman also says the non shielded wire will rust over time and a hobbyist will not use it quick enough to fight off the rust.
