Hi everyone,
I've just joined the forum having stalked it prior to the purchase of a Best Mig 160i. Thanks to all posters past and present who asked "what should I buy" questions. All the responses were helpful and enlightening.
Below is a topical image of my first welds with my new toy (tool). Its 3mm mild steel on 0.8. Some of the welds were done at 120Amps and a few at 100Amps. Wire feed was 4/5 and gas was set on 25 although I reduced it slightly because of a popping sound.
If there are any pointers that can be offered based on what I've been able to provide I would be extremely grateful. Popping sound? Splatter?
Thanks in anticipation of your time.
Chris
