good starter piece

Re:New Welder!!
 

whats the largest size wire you can put on it? .035 is the largest i can go on my lincoln,looks similar to yours.

Re:New Welder!!
 

.030 is the largest (so it says in the manual), but they gave me 1mm tips (.035 I'm guessing) with the kit, so I'm assuming that's the max I can run.

Re:New Welder!!
 

looks like it came with every thing.mine came with hood tips, flux and innershield wire.

Re:New Welder!!
 

Yeah, I'm happy with it. Came with everything, has a 3 year warrenty, and it was only 300 bucks. Can't complain one bit.

Re:New Welder!!
 

sounds like a good deal. i think i have one similar to that

Re:New Welder!!
 

nice you even bought a cart 8)

Re:New Welder!!
 

anyone know of any good learing to weld websites?

Re:New Welder!!
 

I don't think there's a "Welder's Handbook" online.. at least one that would help you weld. Honestly, best way to learn is to buy a flux core welder, and just go man. Trial and error, practice. Learn the basics of cleaning, jigging, a few different types of welds, spot welding and the welder itself.
