i put a fan out of an old microwave in my old stick welder some time a go and it really helped with keeping it cooler. i am able to weld for much longer periods of time with it now.
all i had to do was drill holes in the back plate to match the bolt holes on the fan, then i wired it up to the...
yep woz your right. once i get the welder set up to run right i will grind them out & start over. starting to wish i had started off with the gaslass in the first place now.
never mind its all about learning anyways and a bit of play around with some bits of metal. as long as your being safe...
your right about not geting any good penetration wich was worrying when i was welding. when i was using the gasless wire the penetration was good.

i have bean doing some welding the last couple of days using gas . i found i was doing much better welding with the gassless wire than i was with using gas. using the gas i have to use max power to get a better weld. on no gas i could do well on the lower settings.

thanks cumbriasteve
one thing i notest. when the wire feed moto turns it makes a bit of a worrying clicking sound, the wheel doesn't seem to be jerking when the wire is feeding but it does sound a bit worrying. maybe they made that noise from out of the box.
if you look at picture 4 you can...

i got it of a friend who lets just say has abused it. i wish i had taken some pictures of it before i took upon spending most of the day to sort it out. the friend tells me he was welding just fine with it and that was with the rusty...
