I just picked up an i-mig 205 and wanted to test it out with a 2lb spool that I have. I checked the specs and they say:

Larger roll capacity

By offering a larger spool capacity than the competition, up to 12” (44 lbs.), the I-MIG increases welding time without changing rolls. Small, 2 lb. rolls of steel wire are easily used without the need of special adapters.


I suspect that this is a misprint and that I need to get a larger roll. Just in case it isn't, does anyone have a 205 that has figured out how to make this work? Is it possible that there are different 2lb formats?
