Using the Hobart 135 with some Lincoln SuperArc L-56 ER70S-6 .025" wire and C25 mix (75%Argon/25%CO2) with new 20 gauge (.037") mild steel, there were reltively few changes that were required. Connecting the gas regulator, changing polarity and the wire drive roller and with a new contact tip, made for a simple change-over.



For however many years I've been using this Hobart 135, all that's been used has been flux-core wire, with essentilly no problems. Clean, spatter-free welds are definitely the best.
