Miller Brushed
What type of Miller welder?
I had a welding class a while back and there was this miller wire feed welder, fairly large probably around 100-300 amp range, with a built in feeder. It used flux cored wire. It made beautiful welds. After welding you CHIPPED the slag off in big pieces SIMILAR TO STICK WELDING, very easy clean up, IT WASN'T LIKE MOST OTHER SMALLER WIRE FEED WELDERS THAT PRODUCE SLAG YOU HAVE WIRE BRUSH OFF, and you still don't get it all off (E.G. a small lincoln welder with .035 innershield wire.) My questions are, what machine could this be? Also, is it the machine, or the specific type of consumable that produces a weld like this with such easy slag removal and visual appeal? I know this is wordy
but hopefully someone will know what I am talking about. I want to buy one of these machines. You can email me, I will provide my phone number, I would like to talk to someone with knowledge if possible. i thought i would get the most response in the automotive category given the choices. thanks.
One reason for the big difference in the appearance of those welds could be that some flux core wire is designed to be used WITH a shielding gas.
It seems that Flux Core is chosen not just in an effort to avoid the use of a shielding gas. It has other advantages like deep penetration and less required cleaning of the base metal. You'd think that companies using flux-core wire would save the money, and skip the gas...but the results when using the shielding gas must provide an advantage to them. Perhaps it reduces slag inclusions, and, like you experienced, it makes really pretty welds that are easy to clean.
You may have used a nice, high-end machine, with a quality consumable, AND a shielding gas. That's bound to give you prettier results than a low-end machine, with no gas, using a gas-free flux wire.
I have a Millermatic 251, but I use solid wire and a shielding gas. The results have been wonderful, so I've not had a need to even explore the use of flux-cored wire. Perhaps you might find the same thing to be true, if you get a higher-end machine and use gas.
If, however, you know that you'll need flux-core wire, do some research into the consumables, and see which ones may benefit (or require) the use of a shielding gas. I don't know anything about flux-core wire. You might find some information at the Lincoln or Miller websites. For the record, my Miller is a great welder, and I'm very pleased with the purchase.

The Challenges of Painting Outdoors
Many artists love to take their painting outdoors. They seek out unusual scenes, colors and natural lighting unavailable to them in an indoor or studio environment. While the traditional or classic medium to use when painting outdoors is oil paint, many modern artists are also painting with acrylics.
The traditional choice in oil paint is due to the fact that it does not dry instantly and makes it fairly easy to correct or amend a work after returning to the studio. Painting with acrylics does present some challenges because this variety of paint does dry relatively quickly and doesn’t provide any kind of correction later on.
Painting outdoors with acrylics however does allow for many different effects that oil paint or watercolor cannot. For example, acrylics deliver the same vibrancy that oil paints do, but they can also be thinned and used to create some of the same tones and looks that watercolor delivers.
Painting with acrylics is also a far more affordable approach to art as the materials and supplies are less expensive than any other medium. For example, watercolor is best applied to specialty papers, and oil to canvases that have been properly prepared, but acrylic works with everything from paper to stone, and demands no special finish or top coat to remain intact.
When painting outdoors, the artist must also consider the need for additional supplies and any cleaning up. Painting with acrylics means that clean up is easily done with water, and no harsh thinners or varnishes are needed to ensure that brushes are cleaned properly.
This all means that an artist painting with acrylics will be able to spend less on supplies, obtain superior and flexible results, carry fewer materials when painting outdoors and also clean up their brushes and work space with soap and water. Obviously, this all translates to an excellent choice in mediums for a student just learning how to paint, but also for an experienced artist who is looking for reliability and affordability as well.
There are many suppliers who make excellent kits or pre-packaged collections of paint available. These are for those who enjoy painting with acrylics, oils or watercolors and who would like to enjoy some savings on the most frequently used colors. Additionally, some of these kits are for the true beginner and come with palettes, brushes and introductory books and guides that teach someone how to work with the paint in any setting.
