Hi All
Just finished a ss railing, around 20 mtrs long. made of 1.5 & 2mm tube. Lots of little welds, so I used a 15 torch on the Portomig 285. Some of the supports were 8mm with flanges, so I swopped for the normal 25 torch.
Idle question... How high can you go with the lighter torch for relativly short welds, say 2", in thicker metal? 180 or 200 amps?
The smaller torch is obviously easier to use around small tubes, but it would have been handier to do the occasional bigger bits with it.
Prob a 'bit of string' but any comments welcome..
