Benn's on going build

i see you've smothed the wiper motor recess :D


should look ace ;)

Cheers Ste, hope it will.

Those welds look very similar to the ones i often get using my 90amp clarke.
I think alot of it is down to the welder as In good clean metal I can get a very structural but average looking weld, when the metal is iffy its very hard to find a balance between blowing holes and just blobbing on the surface.

If I was to undertake anything more than the odd MoT repair or if i was to start another project needing alot of welding (which I probly well some day) i will invest in a new higher power welder.

Thats what i thought, but this one was free so i want happy..

free stuff's the best stuff lol

Oh hell yeah!

Benn, set your gas to 6 on the reg, set the wire feed to about 6 or 7, and run a low power on thin sheet steel.

What I do to get a nice bead is go about 10mm foward then work 5mm backward (in a continues movement) then forwards again, back again etc

Ive got the same welder, i get decent welds even using it gasless.....
What settings were you using?
THe power settings go 1min,2min,1max,2max
In case you didnt know, not 1min,1max etc

Cheers Mike i'll have a go with that.

Ad, Its set on.
1, and max, with 3 1/2 gas and 4wire speed.
That gave me quick big tacks, but can burn inplacese easily.

i was running 2 min without burning through.
