893 forum posts	Regarding Mig welders. I recently bought a BOC Migmaster 130 turbo can I use Pub gas CO 2 or should I go for Argon which is much more expensive, and will I notice the difference Your comments and experiences will be much appreciated . John

Ideally you should refer to BOC, ESAB and other online guides to the right gasses for a given application.
