Dave,
I only use my mig when I weld clean metal and want a clean weld, mostly body panels. I use gas. Own my bottle. If you have to rent a bottle that could get expensive. I have an 80 cubic ft bottle and it only lasts about 4 hours.

Flux wire is very expensive and doesn't give you a clean weld. Around here, flux wire is about $20 for 2 pounds. I use a stick welder about 99% of the time. I think I pay about $10 for 5 lb for lincoln rods when I catch them on sale at Lowes.

I'm not a fan of mig welders. I own a mig that a body shop used, 220v.

I won't buy another one.

George
