I picked up this schumaker mig about a year ago. I've been slowly proceeding towards getting it going. I've rewired the shop main feed, used 10AWG stranded 4-conductor cable. Upgraded the 30 amp fuse box with a small breaker box. Wired a 220V receptacle. Gave the welder a suitable plug. Picked up a bottle. And today, found my starter spool,(.060).

I'm really excited, almost ran test beads regardless of being showered and dressed ready to host my bi- weekly poker tournament at the VFW!

Anyway, I think I have a 40-60 mix in the bottle ( told him to give me the best mix for mild steel ). The guage is rated l/min what is a good setting?

Also, this starter spool won't last long. What is best dia for sheet metal?

Thanks in advance
