I have a Clarke 130 EN...I think i saw someone else with one on the first page. It works pretty well and I use it all the time. Cranked up and going slow it will undercut 1/4" plate

I have a Craftman Mig, which is a Century. I use flux core wire.


And this gets used less these days because the little Mig is so handy, but for over 1/4" or on metal I don't feel like wire wheeling too clean it can't be beat.

Heres my setup..a Hobart Beta Mig 1800 of unknown age, I bought it used from my old boss at the restoration shop, he said it was only a couple of years old at the time (3 years ago) but I don't know for sure. My first welder is a Hobart 135xl my Dad bought probably 11 or 12 years ago, still works great, I use for for just sheetmetal now, but I have made some hitches with it in the past and they held up awesome.

What size tank do you guys recommend for MIG welding? I finally got a MIG on the way, I've been using a flux-core welder for the past couple years. My welding consists of just little projects, such as bumpers, welding on mufflers, etc. etc. I'm going to be buying my tank outright so I was wondering what you all thought.

Essentially, I want to know how many bumpers I could make with a 40CF tank. Or would you recommend just going with a bigger 80CF tank? Thanks everyone
