Whether you’re setting up suspension or fabricating something for your rig, a MIG welder is going to come in handy. Before you can get started though, you need to make sure it’s set up correctly.
In order to set up a Power MIG 210 MP welder, you need to first determine what you need to weld. For instance, if you’re patching up panels, then you’ll want to run .025 or if you’re welding up a thicker gauged mild steel you’ll want to run .030. If you’re running axle bracket suspension or any kind of framework you’ll want to run a Power MIG 256 that will allow you to run a .045 wire feed.
The next step is to flip down the tension adjuster. Then raise the top drive roll pressure arm. Remove the outer guide so you can access your lower drive roll. Make sure you have the correct size chosen for your wire and re-install the lower drive roll. Cut and unroll the first 6″ of the wire from your spool without letting the end of the wire go, so it doesn’t unspool off of the roll. Feed it through the wire drive inlet along the inner wire groove, over the drive roll, and through the outlet on the gun side.
Power up your machine and squeeze the trigger on your gun to start feeding wire down the length of the gun liner until it comes out the end of the gun several inches. Then turn your machine off and install the correct contact tip followed by the correct nozzle for solid wire or flux core. After that part is set up, look at the recommended weld settings and determine what you need. Finally, select your wire diameter and metal thickness and you’re ready to weld!

The Power MIG 210 does run 0.45 too. So you don't really need the big welder. BTW, the knurled roll is for flux core wire. Now I can see why the show went tits up!
U no power nation im a master welder use to work for a flatbed trailor company for 31/2 years welding and im asking ya to try an old esaab welder the one that turns up and down from 1 to 10 on the volts and 1to 10 on the wire speed these esaab welders welds small stuff as well because u can turn the heat down on them to around 5 and wire speed to around 5 and weld small stuff to so u actually get 2 welders n one with the old esaab welder that turn up to 1-10 on the heat and wire speed this type of essab is the best ones on the market if u ask me im a professional welder and u can do all this on .35 wire as well thought i would also mention that i havnt seen a digital welder weld correctly yet but i dont mess with them to much either because of the USB on them type of welders i personally dont trust a welder that charges any cell phone because of hacking
Almost done, now show em what the gass should be set to.😏🤷♂️
So, I borrowed this 210 welder from work, to play with and see if I like it. The wire kept popping off the feed roller while I was Welding. There were some tool scratches around the Hex Bolt indicating that someone in the Shop thought they were being "Mechanical", I was curious if some part had been left off… Thus my You Tube Search. Now I discovered that there is a way to lock in the wheel and all seems good now. I Am Actually Mechanical, wanting to see if some part is missing.
I'm cringing watching this video. Knurled with solid wire, and the drive roll didn't get locked in..
Hi,thanks so much,i learned alot!100% to you.
