Does it make a lot of differene using gas vs gasless

Hello there
I makes a massive difference you dont get the spatter, which is just wasting your wire.
I was using gas before but just C02 and with a cr*p regulator.
This set up is C02 argon mix and work very well, also the propper regulator gives you much more control of how much gas you use.
I am still learning but this has made things much better.
I dont get much time on my projects at the end of the day at work, this trolley makes getting stuff out and packing away so much quicker, giving me more time to work
Bring on the paint!!!!!!!!

Tidy, a trolly for the welder and gas makes life so much easier.
A small suggestion, put a shelf on the flat space for bits and pieces and a pair of hooks on the side to wrap the leads around, it used to drive me mad having the leads flooping around all over the place.

Rich, Have you come across this forum? http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/index.php

Helpful guys and useful tutorials for beginners like wot I am. Looking at you trolley though, it does not look like you will need much tutoring.

Thanks Bob
I have looked on there but not in much depth, thanks for the reminder.
I am just starting out in this welding game and I am enjoying it. Seems to be all about the settings and plenty of cleaning up before hand.
What have you made so far? Be nice to see
Rich

I've not done a lot to be honest Rich. The biggest project is written up here
wood-metal-project-t39836.html

Buying the welder was a bit of an extravagance but I had some cash from my retirement lump sum and always wanted a welding capability.
I would have made a trolley but the welder is on wheels and has a tray on the back to hold the gas bottle.

The mig welding forum is indeed a great site, the people are probably a bit madder* than here but the support and lack of idiots and internet trolls is highy commendable, worth taking your time to have a browse.

* Welders are renown throughout industry for being a bit 'odd', probably because they spend all day wearing a bucket on their heads burning themselves.
