Hi all,
Picking up the hobby welding again after a little lay off. I'm trying to lay some practice welds on a piece of 2mm sheet but even on max setting and going slowly with the torch as close as possible to the bead im not getting any beads going through the sheet.
For what it's worth I've included pictures. The ones highlighted in the yellow are some on max.
It's a Clarke 135 te. 6mm wire (would 8mm help?). From the guide on this site setting 3 of 4 should be good enough.
The regulator is set to for mig welding. If anything I've set it on the low side
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
