1.2mm Stainless Mig Wire

[Wendelspanswick]

A friend of mine has given me a nearly full 15kg roll of 1.2mm stainless MIG wire. I have a TecArc 235 MIG, my question is is it man enough to handle 1.2mm wire and what sort of thickness material would you use 1.2mm wire on. Never used bigger than 0.8mm in a MIG before.

Probably a bit beyond the capacity of your mig
If you cant use it you could cut it into short lengths, and use it or sell it as tig rod, what grade is it?.

You would also need to source the correct feed roller, liner, tip and gas.
Probably not worth even trying.
