Hi,
I am having problems using my arc welder. I have completed some basic welding in the past problem free. This time I am trying to weld square steel tube together for a peice of furniture. The tube is about 25mm x 25mm hollow and the steel is about 3mm thick. I have tried electrodes from 2mm up to
3.5mm using every possible amp setting. The electrode will either stick far too easily and its almost impossible to hold an arc. If I do get an arc on a different amp setting then the metal burns right through. I have spent 6 hours trying to practise this. I have no problems testing my arcs with a flat peice of steel.Any help or links would be appreciated.
Thanks
Luke Ingram
