Just signed up as I am researching what arc welder to get and how to do it properly.
I have done a little arc welding (mostly pigeon S*** LOL) and some mig. Though I could only seem to successful mig weld the practice pieces, the real thing always went t*ts up.
Anyway, I have drawn up some relatively chunky (max 8mm) parts I want to weld together to make something and most likely will be bothering you soon.
That said I have been reading the very useful and informative how to up there on that green Arc button. I have to say the info there is extremely useful and enlightening, so who knows I may even get it all working!
One question I do have so far relates to this:
Who sells and what are good brand rods in UK?

Rods: 3.2mm 6013 rods. USE GOOD QUALITY RODS! A forum member trying to learn with DIY store rods had terrible trouble until someone sent him a few brand name rods to prove a point.
