Hi all, beginner here.
Ive just purchased a Rtech 180 mig. This is good for 6mm single pass with a 16A supply, but i'm only on 13A currently, so have to turn it down a bit.
I am looking to make a welding bench, say 1200x600 8mm thick plate mild steel on top.
Probably going to do smaller tack type welds to stick the top to box section steel (2.5mm thick).
So as im welding something 8mm thick to 2.5mm, and probably only have the power for 5mm, what will happen, will it still weld but will not penetrate so much? If so that sounds ok, as its not structural?
Thanks.
