Just getting into the MIG welding and need some help qith setting the gas CFH for best results. MY welder is coming today and i will probably be getting my C25 gas bottle tomorrow. Plan on lots of practice this weekend so i need some advice. I have read all kinds of ranges from 12CFH to 50CFH and i cant believe it varies that much.
Help me out please.

Welcome to the forum!
Generally speaking, 25 - 30 cfh (12 - 17 L/m) for short circuit, and 35 - 50 cfh (17 - 21 L/m) for globular or axial spray transfer. What kind of projects do you have in mind?

nothing in particular just curious because my welder will be here tomorrow and i am sure there will be many things to do in the near future. most of the stuff will probably be steel and small gauge up to about 1/4 inch material. have done things using my FCAW in the past and am looking forward to using the mig to replace it where possible.
Always keep your powder dry.
