Hi all
I just registered so i guess im a newbie here.
Well after much research and procrastination I went out and bought myself a mig welder as i always said i wanted one.
Here in South Africa there are restrictions(not sure if its the same elsewhere)
with the regards to gas bottles. You as a DIY guy needs to rent a bottle at approx R120/month for something ill use now and again and you need to pay a deposit of almost R2000.00
then this little gizmo from Afrox jumped up with its own 2kg bottle.
180A - 60% duty cycle.
Well a long story short , bought it bought 0.6mm aut darkening helmet, gloves etc and started messing around on 2mm agle iron and 32mm squar tubingx1.6mm wall thickness. Setting up the machine was hard and costed me lots of reading. However i would just like to say i could not get the crackle
of the mig correct until last night when i changed the spool to 0.8mm. My machine sounded like it was a professionally setup. Crackle sound was perfect , weld pool was nice and and and......
i do however need advise on the rear sticker. Can someone please decifer it lol. Heres a pic of my mig. Let me know what u think.
