Hey everyone, i just bought my mig welder 3 days ago and its my first time at welding, i purchased a portable single phase 80amp Gasless MiG Welder from European manufacturer Pionier and my main aim is to be able to weld up anything i need to on my project cars. (mainly panel steel at the moment but also exhausts, brackets etc)
I found an old bonnet and bare metaled it so i could practice on it. my welder seems to only have one switch for settings, low and max, this changes the wire speed.
anywayz, ive been trying the downwards zig zag motion and the circle motion etc but not to sure which ones working for me, i seem to either blow holes or get a really flat weld, seems to be penetrating ok but looks very flat and wide.
anyone got any tips for me? from the front page the gasless welds do look a little bit flatter than the gas mig welds and ive been trying his zig zag with a slight upwards motion first but just not seeming to work for me.
many thanks for any help
