You replied faster than I could edit my post.
I added a paragraph to the above post.

Thank for the clarification on ksi.

Have to agree with you there on the stick weld I keep several grades and diameters in a rod keeper myself. trying to change out a spool of wire just to make a 2 minute weld on stainless or do a small amount of hard surfacing and don't even think about buying wire for welding up a small crack in cast iron.
I like the .045"duel shield flux core wire as my go to filler material for many reasons 1 I can adjust down to make welds on thin materials that would be difficult to do even with the McKay 1/16" rods or spin the setting up to lay down more filler than can be done with a 3/16"
I own several machines such as a 400 amp gasoline drive Miller 2 Miller 250 amp gas drives a Hobart 450 amp mig welder Miller 210 Amp mig 300 Amp Airco DC power supply a Lincoln 250 AC stick welder a 130 amp Hobart mig another little 130 amp mig that I can't even pronounce the name of and my latest addition is a 500 amp National AC/DC tig machine that I can't use yet because I haven't had 3 ph installed and to try and run it on a rotary phase converter would send the electric meter into orbit.I'me sure it would make my electric bill jump a 100 bucks every time I turned it on I think I may have at least 5 more welding machines that I have forgotten their names and sizes.
Like having 5 lathes 7 band saws 3 mills and 4 drill presses how many machines can 1 old man use at the same time is the question my wife always asks me.
I tell her it is not a matter of how many I use it is how well diversified and how wide of range of machines I have at my beckoned call. if I decide I have the need
