    iv been using .035 wire science i got the welder but i can only make about a 6" weld before the breaker to the garage flips. This is the first first spool of .023 wire iv used, i stepped down so i could try to get the same amount of heat that i was getting with the .035 using less amps.

    I get 40cf of co2/argon for $12. I haven't priced DOM locally yet. I probably don't even want to know what it is here.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Well you should fix that your circuit doesn't have a large enough breaker to handle the amp draw of your welder. Are you using a 110A or 240A?

    110 volt it's on a 20 amp breaker. i haven't looked in to geting higher amp braker yet, thats next on the list of things to do. i'm a little bit worried about messing with that kind of stuff tho, would hate to cause some kind of electrical fire.

    Remember everytime a breaker pops it gets a little weaker so it will trip sooner. A bigger breaker is not always the answer. Maybe just replacing it may fix your issue. All depends on how old it is

    No not even close, The only way i would consider using .095 wall on a tacoma is if it was 2". even then i still wouldnt do it.

    1 3/4" .120 DOM is perfect for your cage
