    Dumb question about gas

    I would suspect the manual for your machine will say 25 CFH but they are not paying for your gas. The gas does two things, shields the weld pool and cools the mig gun(not whip or stinger). With a 175 amp machine I would suspect you will be welding 20 gauge to 1/4" material. At the lower end of...

Of course this will be affected by where you are welding(inside/outside) and amperage.
