How'd I forget that part? LMAO

 

Just grinding the conduit will NOT make it safe for you to weld. You must clean the surface after grinding and even after that, you still shouldn't weld it without a clean air hood. Galvanized is nothing to mess with.

 

Deadly gas. That was a very unexpected tip, but noted and big thanks.

 

just bought this and got it working a few days ago, 110v hobart 140

 

That the autoarc? Had one for a bit, decent welder for the money. Motor for the wire went out then brother was dumb and traded it away instead of warrantying it out

 

handler, i like it so far, i layed down a half decent bead with flux core wire

 

I like mine a lot. It can lay down some pretty clean flux core welds. I haven't used it with gas yet though so I really don't have much to compare to

 

I got one I'm using flux also I need to get some gas.

 

ill run gas eventualy, but for now while im learning ill be using flux core

 

Thats what I'm doing also

 

You guys need to go pickup a bottle.. Life is so much better with gas.

 

I plan on it here pretty soon. All the clean up with flux core is getting annoying

 

Anyone want the cart I made for my welder? FREE if it get picked up. Lol

 

practiced with some scrap today what do yall think of these welds? keep in mind there were spots where i stopped to see how it looked and i also realize theyre not the straightest either lol

 

Not too bad, you just need to get the feel for the straightness, it's hard to see sometimes, especially when you're learning. Practice, practice, practice, LOL....I've attached a painted version of one of your pics, hope it helps you
