Hi Chaps,
I've been cursing about the rubbish gasless wire I've been using and because I was struggling to get good penetration into 4mm steel with a 170amp MIG welder, I started to doubt the welder. Luckily, I ran out of the cheap gasless wire I had bought on eBay (beware!!!) and bought a pack of SIP gasless at Halfords. Man was I surprised by the difference!
My welder now wants to go through 5mm steel like its butter. I'm totally shocked how much difference there is!! And it splatters a LOT less and there's also much less slag on the weld afterwards. I just cannot believe how much difference it has made.
So, my idea was to ask around and find out from you guys what your experience with different brands of Gasless is? Can you comment? Maybe we can compile a list of the best brands out there.
Cheers,
Mich
