I am planning to build a carport. Trouble I have is making it "easy on the eye", so thinking of using steel to build the roof frame to keep it thin. It will be about 4.5m x 4.5m, so I would have been using 45x200mm timber. Any ideas about what the equivalent strength steel box section would be...
Sadly he no longer has them. I thought about making one, and then realised it would be a faff. £12 delivered, so not a bargain but probably saved blood and tears.
Got it working nicely, once I took the torch apart and cleaned the contacts (dirty/bit burnt, a quick rub and sorted)
Have now realised the trigger is missing off the torch.... But very pleased so far.
I was recently given a pocket 130, and the chappie had pulled the broken wire feed mechanism out and removed the torch etc. I have got the torch, and bought one of the "ebay special" wire feed mechanisms. I should pop into the garage today to make a tray adaptor to get it lined up nicely...

Anyway, gasless as I weld almost...
Thanks for the reply. However the mig is a bit old, and no longer listed. I have the manual, but the mig is meant to be gas (only). The thing I need most is the serrated roller. Hoping lincoln still all use the same pattern!
And the polarity reversing should be easy, just swap a couple of...
Just bought what I hope is a bargain off fleabay. An Arocs lincoln minimig 140. It says minimig, but is twice as heavy as my sip 130 and MUCH bigger. The idea is the sip is junked (typical wirefeed problems, bodged up to work but not really happy with it).
Anyway..... is it possible to...
