Crazy larry Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Practice Makes perfect. turn it up hot less wire speed. and keep at it until it smooths out. also hold the tip close to the material helps. Far better than clamping YO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Phil Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 This is a .035 fluxcore pass. Did you clean it after you welded it? Most people dont know to clean the flux off after the weld is complete. A stiff brissle wire wheel or a welder pick hammer. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=559150980849518&id=100002638623195&set=a.559150800849536.1073741826.100002638623195&source=56&ref=bookmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) a mig is cheaper but if you have a gas touch you can do a coat hanger weld that will work just fine but it'd cost more for a torch set upthen a gas mig , burning holes in the pipe will be a phroblem for you if too hot migs have not been arrround or ever tack weld the assy also tack in a couple spots the weld will always draw the metal , mul tacks can help keep more pipe in proper posson ,drop down so you can also weld on top Edited October 4, 2015 by Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edde Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 This is a nice package big enough at $235.00. Beg, borrow, or steal some tanks and you're in pretty cheap for good quality. http://www.weldersupply.com/Content/files/ProductImages/Victor%20Medium%20Duty%20Performer%20Outfit.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 torch heads are reasonable it's tanks that kill yoularge tanks can be rented for $100-$200 each per yr ,, rentals are normally only made thru shops , small tanks are always running out during the job your doing you can get propane set ups much cheaper but not very hot for welding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
