Hi,
I'm new to welding and just got a Britweld EM160 mig welder.
I want to weld a solid piece of flat bar 16mm x 75mm x 300mm across a motorbike frame onto 25mm round 1.5mm wall tube at each end.
I've been practicing on 1.5mm sheet and got what looks like a good bead with good penetration, but don't know how much to alter the settings for the job i want to do, or is it best to leave this bit to the professionals as it will be the mounting for the top of the shock absorber and i don't want it to break.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
