Gas to wire - nth time, I'm sure... i.e. I'm sure this question has been asked 1,000+ times ... but...
I'm an old Oxy/Acet brazer... been doing it for years... and do some pretty good joints brazing... never was too good with welding....
now, I want to do some just occasional, around the shop, work to some better steel welding and join aluminum.. (For example I wanted to repair a broken Al connecting rod from my air compressor) ... I tried some of those magic 3 in 1 sticks with oxy/A, and although the jointslook half decent... a 2 year oldcould break them apart...
So, I want to get a wire machine of some sort and learn to do better steel welding, and be able to do some aluminum work also... I don't expect I'll ever weld like Jesse James in Monster garage, but I learn well on my own...just need a kick start ...
Where do you guys suggest I start? for the nth time?
Thanks, Jeff
