Hi all, I'm one of those woodworkers branching out into the world of metal working. I've started a couple of little projects to get my bearings and am hoping to start to get a "feel" for it. I have some 3/16" mild steel plate I have cut and need to weld back together into the project, including outside corners, "T" joints and butt joints. Most joints I will be able to get to from both sides if I have to. I have a Canox (actually a Miller) 90 amp mig loaded with .03 wire, using 75/25 argon/CO2. Just wondering what settings you would use? My understanding is that this would be near the max of my little welders ability, so should I slow the feed down to let the heat penetrate a little more? Any advice would be great. I bought the welder used, so don't have the instructions, and the charts are no longer on the machine.
Thanks!
Brent
