What setting are you using on the rollcage stuff? doesn't look like it's penetrating much to me
Its on setting two. Its penetrating ok. I can see the tube burning through as I push the weld along.
I would crank it up to 3 min/3 max for that depending how slow you're moving, very much doubt it would start blowing through.
I'll blast a small off cut i've got and see what the crack is. Tube isnt "that" thick tho.
Your plates should be though, 3mm? Which means you can stay away from the tube ever so slightly, get good penetration into it all, being a tube up against a 3mm plate it's also quite a chunky construction in general so tends to act like a big heatsink.Quote:

What about the tube to the plate in the last pic?Quote:

Thats very interesting! I assumed it would be min 1, max 1, min 2 etcQuote:
