All, need some advice...
I have spent the last 2 days trying to get my 150te going! It keeps bird nesting when i try to weld. \After reading about on here, I have changed the tip, shroud and liner. It seems to go great when not being used in anger, but as soon as i try to use it in anger it either welds the wire to the tip or in most cases it birds nests the wire just after the roller. I am using 0.6mm wire and tips.
There is a little rust on the wire, but not much.
Also, I am intending to make a trolley as my first project, for which i have some 2mm steel box. Should i move upto 0.8mm wire for this.
Any advice gratefully recieved.
I'm away to have a beer before i throw the thing in the bin
cheers,
paul
