Ok, great forum....I was getting worried with no good sites until I found this one.
I have just done my first welds and they are terrible...so many questions, I have bought a Clarke Pro 90 welder. It seems good, I got with it a hand held mask, and I am hopeing this might be my probled. As the gun arcs it just seems to be moving around all over the place, then the wire sticks, then it vanishes, bungs up the end and its all over for a bit.
So what are the main things I should be doing first, the real basics. Also it is a gas welder...how do I know if the gas is coming out???
What is a sensible wire feed rate to start with, it has 1 to 9?
All help greatly appreciated, as I am struggling already...
Thanks
Nick
