Put a heavy duty rubber band over the voltage and speed knob that way all you have to adjust is one

I did a thing on welding without a nozzle in my tips and tricks. Try to cover the threads using an old diffuser insulator. Or get a piece that covers it like you showed, you don't have to but... I save money in brass diffusers this way not just the gas hole. The threads get ruined fast if you arc them off your product, just setting it down can bump the trigger or still have some amps in it to arc im sure you've seen it. I've made a few mistakes. Imo that's one I don't forget when you need it on a holiday weekend and the stores are closed.😅

I tried flux core for the first time a few days back it's weird first time around...dragging, no shroud, .if the slag came off like stick does I'd probably use it more .

@-DIYPRO- 4 ай бұрын

When you get into thicker material or higher amperage it does peel off, almost like stick does!

Fluxcore flux will fall right of if it’s shielded proper with argon mix gas

Is that a Miller Digital Infinity? How do you like it?

@-DIYPRO- 4 ай бұрын

It is, I actually have the elite as well. I like the infinity better. It's slightly bigger. If you can find one with the 2.0 clear lens it's worth the extra.

I started a few weeks ago.... doing ok however my machine is super hard to find a decent setting and comes with no "suggested" sticker lol

@-DIYPRO- 4 ай бұрын

What machine do you have? One suggestion is you can actually time the wire speed at the low, middle, and high settings and take that speed to online charts for a starting point.

@@-DIYPRO- "TP TOOLS" Lol, I'm in Thailand & everything is backwards, Arc sticks don't have numbers. Metric & Imperial are used in EVERYTHING so IDK if IP/M or MM/m lol. Even some steel at the hardware store is in mm thickness yet some is inch lol. I guess I can do the 6 second measurement & try that. So far for 2.6mm steel I've used 270-340 IPM? and about 16.5v. Feed seems low but cranking it seems to get too hot and the puddle bubbles. Could be the wire too as some I've noticed states + and some - lol yet I was assuming 99% is EN- lol. Simple tasks here are near impossible!

Do the feed and power knobs always move in tandem? IOW do you always move them to the same position? Both at 3:00 for example. - Thx! Eric.

Sometimes they might line up but not always. Depends on the machine as well.

So, I've been an unprofessional welder for, ah hell, near about 45 mins. now & yet I still have a bonehead question, 'does anti-spatter spray affect the weld any?'

@-DIYPRO- 15 күн бұрын

No such thing as stupid questions, just stupid people asking questions, hahah! Just kidding, I wondered that as well. No anti spatter spray and nozzle gel do not affect the weld quality. Use as much as you want!

Save some $…instead of Spatter Spray, Pam (or equivalent) works just as good.

You guys flux core was designed to run dual shield gas shield and flux shield so all those damn bbs are cause your not running any gas flux core with no gas makes a sorry ass weld just saying it won’t hold up under heavy stress

Haha, you’re absolutely positively 1000% incorrect.
