So I have a Clarke 110E welder with Co2, which im happy using on 1.2mm and can run reasonable good beads etc ( but not an expert in any shape )
My current project I have been forming the various steel panels that now require joining together but these are all in 0.6mm steel, think steel skin nailed to an Ash frame, so not structural.
I have tried various practice sections etc running tacks 4 at a time leave and cool down, but on setting 1 & minimum the tacks are a little high and penetration is ok as long as im exactly on target so could be a bit better. Other settings are just two hot.
So If I were to buy a new welder that could go lower than 30amp and have better voltage control will this provide a slightly flatter tack? due to better control? ie slightly hotter but not as hot as the next setting on the 110e
I dont have TIG nor can I gas weld, as much as that would be nice
So any advice will help and thanks in advance
anks in advance
