Re: Arc Welding Anyone?

£30 is cheap...

but not as cheap as an old microwave and some hacking:

Somethings are best left un hacked and I'm not happy about making something like that from something that cooks a spud in 12 minutes.

Run a good bead? Fill crater... fill a hole?

Bead is the actual run of weld... you want it nice and regular in pattern and width.

When you lift of at end of bead it'll leave a crater at the end, you need to get hang of moving electrode down a little in angle and pause to fill it in and finish the weld off nicely.
