I dont have any trouble with it once I got the feel of wire. I never had/used wire til I got this Century 200 a few years ago-----tried it and hated it, BUT tried some test welding at different settings and now it aint bad. I cant afford to go solid wire and gas for it. I think thats what former owner had set up on it. I had to get new feed rollers and a couple other parts for it but it makes some hard/strong welds if you watch what you are doing with it.
I still love my stick jobbers but how much longer will we be able to get rods for them???? Thats why I decided to start learning myself the wire stuff.
It has been interesting so far! LOL!
