After lots of good advice on the 'buying a welder' forum I ended up buying an oldish Clarke 150te MIG from a member not too far from me. Finally got myself organised with proper gas and PPE and started messing about with some bits of scrap today. These are the results and I would welcome some critique!
The two on the right were trying to get the settings right, I settled on everything on max! and wire speed of just under 6. This is 2mm sheet.
Next lot on 4mm plate trying moving torch at different speeds.
Tried a couple of fillet welds on 3 and 4 mm....
Finally a go at 300mm square
All comments very welcome!
