Hi Guys,
Thought I'd join and say Hi as I've finally bough a welder and starting to get along with it. I've been a welder deprived person all my life until now. Since a kid I've walked around thinking about how things could be constructed, but never had the garage, money or indeed, a welding machine.
A few weeks ago I bought a Cemont TX150 AC/DC TIG Welder. I couldn't really afford it, but what the h*ll!!
I've been practising on some mild steel, stainless and last night some alu. I'm getting hang of the mild steel and the little I've done stainless I've liked it. The alu has been more difficult, but last night I got some welds that actually looked like welds. Need more stainless sheet and alu sheet to practise on.
My first project was a little hanger for the trolley jack. Turned out quite well for a first try. 16x16x1mm material. 80x80mm footprint.
Also been trying to get all the equipment, you know, tungstens, collets, stainless steel wirebrushes, etc etc...
I've been reading the TIG forum a bit and I've found the information to be very good. Thanks!!
