Welding Newbie
dazza:
Over a year ago i bought the cheapest welder i could find it had some good reviews on amazon. Mightymig 100
Its a flux core welder (no gas).
Finally unboxed it last night and ran a few beads.
Had no idea on settings etc so left the machine in low with a wire speed of 6.
If anyone has any pointers that would be great.

This is one thing I've wanted to learn for a while now but just need my own garage or workshop. Have a look on YouTube I've seen a few videos that were pretty good with plenty of info.
dazza:
Watched a lot of videos. The machine i bought is budget only has two power settings and no info on recommended wire speed/power settings. Going to try some different settings later.
Wish i had got a normal Mig as the gassless is sh*t unless you are welding in a windy field.
dazza:
Switched the machine to high today. Some better results. Still have no idea what i'm doing.

What do you do intend on welding? I hope nothing important safety wise on your car?
Welding is a skill that you really need to learn in practice from a trained instructor. I've done it before small scale but the lads I hire in to do my welding in work have been at it years!
