I-MIG 200E, What do I need with it?

[drthunder33]

Looking to purchase one of these and I'm kinda new to mig welding (only stick so far). So I'd like to know what else I'm going to need to purchase that doesn't come in the box.

ar/co? size tank?
regulator or flow meter (doesn't look like it comes with one.
hoses?
wire? size? looking to weld 1/4"- 3/8 right away

I have some of the basics
autodark helmet
gloves
wire brush
pliers

just want to get my stuff straight so I'm not surprised when I finally get to order my machine.

Thanks

i MIG 200E's are out of stock, but I can get you a regular 200 for almost the same price. pm me if you'd like a quote. It's a better machine and offers a lot more standard.

You need a 125 cu ft minimum. 75/25 (Ar/CO2) is fine...and most common.
Regulator comes with the 200. Hoses to connect as well.

Wire size should be .030-.035" for most things.

You will probably want to add a flux core drive roll and possibly a larger drive roll for larger diameter wires.

You might want to look at the 250 if you are planning on doing much with 3/8".
