Anything welding

will do! Need to get tubing next week. Finishing up wife's sliders now though. I.e. Painting them.

 

How can you tell?

 

I'm looking at the lack of fusion at the beginning and ends, and the relatively small HAZ.

Just my input.

 

Ok thanks. Think I had the 211 on the lower end of the 1/8" setting. I have a bunch more to weld up so ill play with it

 

Just an FYI, my 211 auto set is far from that. I weld at relatively low heat but the wire speed needs to match.

 

Finished up my wife's jk sliders today.

 

Boxed frame horns on the bumper I'm building for my brothers truck

 

Had a leak in a storm shelter that we installed that i went and welded up today.

On a similar note, does anyone no why a mig would arc all the time, like even when the trigger isnt pulled. Bout burnt my eyes right off the ba. ha.
painted with with roofing sealant to match, and make doubly sure it doent leak

 

Miller generator trail blazer machine. It used to work fine but the last few times at work (i found out after this came to my attention) it is alway hot. I was thinking the gun may have a short or something, its seen a little abuse over the years it looks like.

 

Not sure if your machine is the same but this sounds similar

hey guys, im new to welding and would like some recommendations for an auto darkening hood. ill be welding for fun and not that often. would like to keep proce of the hood below $75. i know i wont get a high quality hood but i cant justify spending a couple hundred dollars on a high end hood that wont get used that often. thanks in advance

 

Harbor Freight.

 

X2 guys use them in the shop everyday with no major issues. its perfect for the hobby welder.

 

My problem with them is the delay after welding my eyes tend to hurt. If your only going to do little welding just get a passive shade and throw in a gold lens. I know I've said it before

 

He asked about auto darkening

 

Thanks I did read the question, I was suggesting s something else as a possibility, didn't know it wasn't acceptable

 

Idk ive never used them. Just see everyone in the shop using them.
