PIFDS 120 A1, 1st crack

[Prajna]

So my tool benefactor, Mike, picked me up one of the above from Lidl for 99 bucks a couple of days ago. I've never played mig or flux core before and I've been waiting for these to come in so I could have a go.

Bit 'a messin round with 1.5mm wall galv scrap RHS (cleaned galv off one side):

Was quite impressed with it really. Especially with the fillet that I afterwards belted with a BFH:

I bought one as well and it has probably seen more use for wee jobs than any other welder I have access to as it so compact, pick it up dial in the thickness of the metal and go. Excellent on thin metal (even with the .9mm wire) and outdoor work.
