Great video. Well explained.

@SKoGoMoney Yes, If you run this machine without the gas then you have to run flux core wire. You will get the same slag that you get when you ARC weld. The gas does the same thing as the flux on the ARC rods.
This is a MILLER 251. The newer 250 is a much improved machine over this one. While I do use Miller you should keep in mind that there are several great brands out there to chose from. I would try to stay away from the overseas brands though. Thanks for the great questions.

Wait a minute if you just use electric you must have to use a flux-cored wire then. So does that produce the same mess as an arc welder? Will I also have to clean the coating off?
P.S.: Just checked out the Miller site. Damn those are expensive, but you sure make 'em out to be worth it!

This video was a great help thanks a lot, you've explained everything so much better than anyone else plus you actually showed us what they look and work like.
I'm thinking all I need is a MIG welder! What model is your MIG? I can see the brand is Miller. (It's always good to follow the pros :P)
I also have a question. You said that the MIG uses a gas mixture of Argon and CO2 as flux. But what about when you don't use gas, and you just use electric?
Thanks man!
