0.6mm wire for 0.6 to 3mm steel
0.8mm wire for 1mm to 8mm or so.
1mm wire for 2mm to 10mm.
Each wire has a range and that range depends on the welders voltage (power) settings.
You can use 0.6mm on 4mm steel but the wire speed is real frantic. I use it for steel 1mm and under, Everything else i use 0.9mm.

Cheers for that don't think I'll be going any thicker than 1mm at the moment so 0.6 or 0.8 for me 
I did hear that flux core wire doesn't go down as thin as 0.6 obviously because of the core is this right and would I be better using this to work outside even though its a PITA to keep hammering the slag off ?
