For mild steel you will want mixed gas (75% CO2 / 25% Argon). I have a 110V MIG. On a 20A circuit it works just fine.....even on thicker welds. If I was going to weld 1/4" plate a 240V mig would be better.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span></span> </div><div dir="ltr"><span>Chad in Tulsa</span></div><br> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433941020044_127918" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433941020044_127917" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433941020044_127916" dir="ltr"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433941020044_127919"> <font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433941020044_127922" face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Andrew Uprichard <auprichard@uprichard.net><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> triumphs@autox.team.net <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wednesday, June 10, 2015 4:24 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [TR] FW: [6pack] Floorpan replacement and Rust repair quote...<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433941020044_127923"><br><div id="yiv3118432418"><style><!--
