Hello, I am very new to welding and have just purchased a second hand Kemppi 163amp 3 phase welder.
I've been trying to weld some 5mm steel, but am not getting much penetration. This is with the welder turned up to full. It appears to be a neat weld, but more just builds up on the surface of the metal instead of penetrating through it.
I'm wondering if this is my technique, or if the welder is just not up to the job?
Anything I can do to help it weld this thick metal?
Thanks
Joel
