whats the largest size wire you can put on it? .035 is the largest i can go on my lincoln,looks similar to yours.

USS

.030 is the largest (so it says in the manual), but they gave me 1mm tips (.035 I'm guessing) with the kit, so I'm assuming that's the max I can run.

looks like it came with every thing.mine came with hood tips, flux and innershield wire.

USS

Yeah, I'm happy with it. Came with everything, has a 3 year warrenty, and it was only 300 bucks. Can't complain one bit.

anyone know of any good learing to weld websites?

USS

I don't think there's a "Welder's Handbook" online.. at least one that would help you weld. Honestly, best way to learn is to buy a flux core welder, and just go man. Trial and error, practice. Learn the basics of cleaning, jigging, a few different types of welds, spot welding and the welder itself.
