Power I Mig 205 P qs ? (Size, aluminum, wire speed, flux wire, roll size, new model )

[someguy]

First thing to note is that the specification link for this unit on its web page is broken. It brings up the 140 unit.

Questions.

1) How big is it ?

2) Has anyone done some aluminum welding and wished they got the 250P instead ? I wish the 250P was small like the 205P ! Or, I wish the 205P was more powerful. Aluminum is the only thing that I think I might need more power for.

3) How does one set the wire feed speed on the 205P ? The 250P has a wire feed speed dial.

4) Does the pulse function help when welding flux core wire, ie gasless ? A lot of MIGs are terrible at welding the stuff. I don't have a particular need to weld with flux wire, it would just be handy to do so outside or on dirty metal, which I now do with stick, and not have to stop and change rods all the time. I'm tired of changing rods !

5) Does the pulse function help with aluminum welding ?

6) Can one use small rolls on the 205P ? Or only the big ones ?

7) Any chance there is a new, updated 205P in the works ? I'd buy the 250P if it was a suitcase like the 205P

Thanks !
