Todd,Take a look at a Miller 151 or the newest version of it. Hobart's are made by miller too. You'll never be sorry you bought a real mig welder. I use a combination gas mix of Argon/CO2 for economy. My machine takes a 30 lb spool of .035 wire. It lasts about 2 years for me. I also have a 10 lb spool of stainless wire for stainless welding and another tank of pure Argon gas for this kind of welding. Wet towels work really well. Also you can buy a rattle can of spray to apply to the area around your weld. This makes any splatter not stick to the surfaces around your welds. I use it on the jig when I'm fabricating a batch of license plate holders. Air Gas Co sells all this stuff. Even the welder. Buy Once-Cry Once....You'll never regret spending this money.........Bruce
