Hi,
Well I did do a lesson at college 30 years ago.
Anyway, I got a piece of metal I cut of my broken landrover and setup my new mig Sealy Supermig 150, I set it to 30amps and wire speed 2.5.
The terrible welds on this picture are due to the gas being off, for a min I thought I was mad and forgot everything I have read here. Then I turned it on, the gas that is, and adjusted the welder till I got just a nice sizzle when wleding.
I did the following 5 welds the 1st three moving a little quicker than the last two, on the right.
This is the bottom of the plate showing the penetration. The two on the left are the two welds above I'm refering to.
I am so glad I bought a self darkening helmet and a big gas bottle.
Any thoughts?
