Which ones that then matey?
I have a 150amp set up. It's a Sealy ripoff which I brought off eBay last year. It's a great little unit.
I typically use 20% argon mix although the last bottle has been 5% mix. Wilst not too different on heavy stuff, I find it worse on thinner material so will be using 20% from now on.
Another thing is I have in the past used small reels of wire. Now I have the larger 5kg reel and to ensure a good feed I have to have the gun tube completely straight or it doesn't feed well.
I can weld anything upto 6mm with confidence and also down to 1mm with a steady hand. Also the best buy was a descent auto helmet. Keeps you hands free and you can see once you stop welding.
My mate has just bought a new 200 amp set up. Can't remember the name but it is a purple unit. It is brilliant!!! Coast him nearly £600 though.
Thanks guys, I'm used to a 4k set and the clarke was saved from the tip with the idea of sorting it out but so far as a cheap fix its needed new drive gear for the roller,New metal liner new shroud, New gas line and now it needs a new reg! Just feels a bit like money for old rope at the moment! But I will persevere with it if its worth keeping.
Thanks again!
