Thanks gents, I appreciate the replies.

Hi all,

I have a Sealy Supermig 230 and wondered how to work out what the voltage settings are with eack individual 'click' of the dial.


Thanks

I only ever weave in two situations with mig, when I'm running uphill, running downhill on thin material with a large gap or open root plate/pipe beveled to a knife edge. In any of those aforementioned situations you REALLY want to make sure you're in short circuit mode and not globular unless you ...

Just my opinion as a "high-end hobbyist", forget weave patterns when learning, unless it's just to have fun and "see what happens". For actual learning, I learned by constant-speed travel, or sometimes using a forward-then-slightly-backward type of motion, and then I did cut and...

You are absolutely right sir.

I have managed to run some tests and now have a general idea what IPM im getting on each setting but the volts/power has me stumped. is it simply a case of trial and error? Generally yes, you figure out the IPM that will deposit the amount of metal you want, and the voltage is tweaked to provide th...

Thanks guys, apologies for the delay in replying, blame covid. I have been well enough today to have another go with my mig welder, I'm hoping you'll agree that its an improvement. There was a hint of bacon frying :D One thing I'm struggling with is figuring out what power I'm running at as my welde...

Hi guys, I’m new to welding and absolutely determined to improve at mig welding. I’ll obviously be picking your brains on this journey so apologies in advance for all of the newbie questions I’ll be asking. The image (if it has loaded and is visible) is my best weld today. Now you can see how poor I...
