Hi
I saw some cafe furniture the other day make from box section. It looked like raw steel with a black patina finish and possibly lacquered.
Any body point me in the right direction for finding more on this as I’d like to build and finish some items the same?
Cheers
Thanks for the tips.
I’ll try keeping power the same.
Will post pics. Would have done today but I have a new phone and having trouble setting it up. Need a child to show me
Finally got around to trying the new rods out with my new ESAB Sentinel helmet.
Helpful to see what I’m doing a bit more.
I am much happier with the straight runs but still struggling a bit with fillets.
I had the amps set at 120 on the straight runs and 110 on the fillets. 3.2 rods 6mm plate...
Well I finally got one sent mail order.
Tried it out for the first time today.
I can see what’s going on much better, doesn’t seem to made my welds any better
Thanks for everyone’s advice.
Trouble is there’s too many to choose from in my price range and if I ask which one is best I bet I’ll get 10 different answers.
It’s almost better to ask which one not to buy!
Hi
I want to get a mig but due to space restrictions I’d like to get a multi process one and sell the Arc welder I have.
Can you get ones which do MIG, ARC and TIG?
If so can anyone recommend one, also I want one bottle of gas to weld mild and stainless steel. Have a budget of £500-£800.
Only...
The only reason I started so low was the box gave the range 90-140amps.
I think the main reason for the wavey lines is Im having trouble seeing what Im doing.
Hopefully change when I get my new helmet.
So I finally got the Bohler AWS 3.2 rods and tried them out today.
Ive done several lines starting at 90 amps up to 140 amps.
Apart from the wigglyness as I can’t see ( Ordered ESAB Sentinel ) can anyone advise which line looks the best setting.
Using a Thermal Arc 175se.
Cheers
