I’m in the process of learning to weld and have inherited the welder below and a few boxes of quite old Aldi rods. I have absolutely nothing to compare it to and whilst I’m not consistent, I’m starting to get the hang of it. Starting the arc is the one thing that I still need much more practice at though. Once I’m away I can turn out an ok run but getting started is more challenging than I’d like sometimes (even with warm rod etc).
First on the list is to pick up some decent rods but will I see any noticeable difference in ease of use from a beginners perspective between this machine and something more modern?
