Clarke weld MIG 100E mk2 its over 30 years old and still works well for my DIY car restoration work. I did find the Mig setting calculator chart but my instruction book doesn`t give the Min output data. It also gives settings but not for s/steel, just wanted easy chart like the Tig. Thanks
Is there a Mig amp chart, the same format as the Tig amp chart ? as I printed this off and found it so useful in my workshop for quick reference as a beginner.
Disposable bottles only. I cut them in half when empty with my disc cutter then they get recycled as normal. Please note, not to be done on bottles that contained inflamable gas even if empty.
Thanks interesting about the Argon mix, my Tig stopped working and thought change to mig would be easy. Dont want to buy another gas bottle I didnt know that it doesnt need purging with mig
I am now going to weld my exhaust system with my Mig welder. What wire size is best to use 0.6mm or 0.8mm, I will use 308L wire? weld and purge with Argon. The wall thickness is 1.5mm 304 s/steel.
The only name is blue brand was new about 10 years ago as a present but never used until late last year. Just put the cover back on left in warm workshop. Have tried it today and it struck an ark but took 7 seconds and sometimes longer, the suggestion that it could be tracking on the circuit...
Swiches all in correct positions now The picture is the first I took before all the help I recieved from the forum as I had not a good manual. I think the earth clamp is ok as the current still flows when electrode is touched on workpiece. The trigger works, as that initiates the gas flow. I...
Gas flow ok can see operation on gas flow meter, Switch to Tig ok. I dont mind the answers nice to know I am getting help and input. Have tried all controls in different positions. All put back as when things worked ok
Had a good practice yesterday, when I am confident I am going to make an exhaust system with 304 s/steel. I have a pack of 316L x 1.6 filler rods which came with my welder, are these good enough to make as perfect a job as possible with regard to corrosion.
I am also a beginner to TIG and intend making a stainless exhaust. I did look into using the paste and found it expensive so bought a larger bottle of Argon instead, I hope to practice to make a reasonable job. How important is the flexy pipe? my engine is inline not transverse.
I have a blue brand inverta TIG 180p.This welder was bought for me over 10 years ago, and has never been used until a few days ago. It came with a basic instruction book with no set up details. It has slope in & out controls which I assume is the amperage at start & finish, does this also...
Hi I got a flow meter for Xmas but only have dispoable cylinders at the moment. My question is there an adaptor that I can fit so I can use these bottles up first. I have a small lathe so if I cant buy one I shall make one but dont know the thread sizes. Any help would be appreciated Thanks John
Hi I am a bit confused about the quantity of gas in both disposable and refillable - I have a Clarkes Argon 110 Ltr @ 165 bar and I am compairing it with a Hobbyweld refillable cylinder 5 Ltr @ 137 bar. Which bottle has the most gas and last longest. As the sums don`t add up to me. Thanks John
