Thanks for the welding vids John. I've never welded and this series is turning into a valuable resource for me for when I try it myself.

"Blow any shite out of the valve", "Don't weld outside in the pissing rain", very very funny, great video

Hello John, sorry for asking - shall I use the mig option without the gas?! - I am just a beginner and I want to buy this welder. I wonder if I could use it without gas at least for a while. Thank you very much for uploading these videos.

Georgezama You need to use flux cored wire. Cheap enough to buy.

John. I am going to be attempting to weld a tubular chassis soon. The tube is 1 1/2" OD 16swg wall thickness CDS mild steel. Will also need to weld some 4mm thick mild steel plate in the corners. Would this MIG we sufficient, with chassis work being structural 'n' all? If so, what wire would you suggest? Cheers

Hi. I have the R-tech 180 Mig. Can this machine be used to scratch start tig weld stainless? If it can which gas is best? Thanks

@doubleboost 4 жыл бұрын

Yes the last video shows how you need pure argon

@pedroardilatjader2569 10 жыл бұрын

May i ask, what mix of inert gas is it, 75/25 CO²/Argon? ( Am a tad Blitzed tonight) And i wanted to point out, the gas is there to keep the Oxygen out. :)

@kempy666999 10 жыл бұрын

93% Argon, 5% CO2 and 2% oxygen

I was under the impression that it is 95% co2 and 5%Argon . I stand corrected if I am wrong.

What spring tension should be used for 0.6mm wire please?

@doubleboost Жыл бұрын

Adjust it untill the rollers slip on the wire with the wire touching something. Make sure it won't birds nest
