Compared too an old Autoplus machine this welder is proving much more difficult to weld material.
Undertaking a Midget repair and I find that I can only get decent penetration on the max settings and adjsuting the wire feed.
Also on a cleaned old inne sill panel about 2mm thick to get break through and a sunk weld (ie just below a hole) required the machine feedto be about 4 degrees below max feed on the high setting.
All switches on max and wire on high and control at about 40% seems to be OK with butt welds on 1mm section. Seems high for something that clams it can weld 4.7mm of steel?
Whats the view? Do hobby welder need to be turned up to get a good wed and decent penetration?
