G'day All.
I run 0.6mm wire with Migshield gas.
Bought 4 x 15kg rolls off Ebay and respool it onto the 5kg spools.
It is used for everything from car panels right up to 10mm plate.
Just change the settings and weld away.
I use a CIG transmig 165.
Also run 0.8mm ali wire with argon. Works great but have to pre-heat the work with a cheap throwaway bottle gas blowtorch.Hooroo.
Regards, Trevor

Thanks Grahame and Ding,
I think the welding will go in spaced bursts of frantic activity with the odd small job in between. So a Gas/Gasless unit with a gas bottle hired for the bigger jobs looks like the way to go.
I need to do a bit more research i think. Still not clear on what gases do what and what type of regulator etc..etc...
