Hi All,
I am new to this forum as well as new to welding.
I have just bought a Wolf Mig 140X welder. Because it was cheap and after hearing all the comments I was expecting to have lots of problems especially with wire feed. But I have to say it has been brilliant. Worked straight out of the box, no problems with wire feed or power.
I don't really have anything that needs welding so have been searching around for bits of scrap to practise on. I quickly used up all the flux core wire. My welds as you can imagine were pretty crap although I did manage to weld a new bracket on to my car exhaust. When I then switched to gas, the difference was amazing, at last I started to get welds that looked a lot better. I also bought myself a self darkening helmet, a good move. Obviously I need a lot more practise, but I am really enjoying playing with the welder. My Wolf welder is designated as a 140X with 6 power settings, made in 2015. I wonder if they have improved quality over the old ones. Does anyone know what the X signifies?
I look forward to hearing from you all.
Mike
