yep yep, im a firm beleiver that ER70S6 is the stuff to use. most of the brands seem to have pretty similar composition. I like lincolns wire because its manufactured in an ISO9001 plant so i know it should be fairly consistent (i use to work in an ISO9001 plant and i can say its 'usually' pretty good).

 Iver never used hobart wire but i have heard its not bad. Pretty similar arc and bead quality to Lincolns wire apparently.

my big question is .030 or .035. should i set it up for its upper range or lower. i want the wire size that will be the best all arounder for general fab (cant see myself welding more then 3/8 steel for the most part). and I am going to be bobbing my bed soon and want something thats small enough to work with sheet metal while being able to keep the heat a bit lower and not blow holes through it. 

Man I cant wait to get this thing.  :drooling: :flamer:

should be shipping out tommarow.  :burnout:
