Hi everyone,
A while ago I bought my first new welding machine, an HBM 200CI Synergic welder. Goes from 30 - 200 AMP, can also do stick and TIG. Of course I started with MIG, so far we are getting along fine. Did some horseshoe porject, but now its time for a proper project.
I'm going to build a welding cart for the machine, bottle and a crate or 2.
Bought some angle iron, 30*30*3 mm, and some caster wheels.
Currently I'm using a 0.8mm wire, but with this type of iron, I'm having a bit of a hard time. The penetration is not optimal I think. Even in high settings I've got the feeling I'm struggling. My welds do stick, but they are a bit high
Question is would a 1.0 mm wire do better at the thickness of this metal?
Or should I move slower?
(forgot to take some pics to show...)
