Hi there.
Because lugging a big gas bottle around is a right pain in the ar** I thought I’d try some cored wire. Odd thing is I can’t make it do a thing.
I get a lovely gentle sizzle sound, a load of extra pixies, but no penetration at all, it’s like the wire is boiling on the surface and flying off. The metal is easy mild steel, lovely and clean, or it was before hand, doesn’t seem to matter what the power is at all, or feed rate. Of course I have the gas turned off.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
