Ok I'm a hobby super glue driver and probably without the "super"bit, never earned a bob from welding and never will, anyway tried a drive with one of those toaster sized inverter stick boxes and out of the box this happened
Flux curling up and peeling off whole maybe those Chinese are on to something, I was always able to blame my tools for some pretty average seagull **** work but perhaps not now. Sure you guys will pick holes in the work but I was at the stage (bad workman style) of blaming the rods and anything else I could think off but that welded so smooth out the box, one 2.5, one 3.2 rod.
The problem however is the box comes with a moulded on 13a plug with a (written on the outside) 13a fuse, the welder goes up to 220a with 20a input written on the label, how can this be have these inverters moved on that much to accommodate this or is some form of self destruction (or worse) on the cards?
