Hi, yeah so quick question. I am trying (as a complete novice) to weld cutlery, stainless steel typically.
Basically I am either burning through it by welding too long or I am trying to tack and the tack is not really penetrating at all.
I am using gas and a mid setting (3 of 6) about 50% wire speed,0.9mm copper coated wire.
Any obvious suggestions or failing that, can anyone recommend any 'standard' settings for this kind of work when using a Wolfmig140. Its range I believe is 30-130 amps with power settings simply 1 2 3 4 5 or 6.
I have made a couple of things successfully but its a bit hit or miss. If anyone's interested there's a link here to them.
Thanks
John
