    Problems with my new welder

    This sounds like my problem. When I looked closer after taking the tip off, I noticed that bead in the center of the pic. Hope you all can see what I am talking about from the pic. I assume that is not supposed to be there. I tried pulling it out with needle nose pliers, but no luck. See what...

    Problems with my new welder

    Problems with my new welder

    I just saw the post recomending buying a welder instead of paying someone else to do it. That is what I did a couple a months ago. It is a Craftsman mig wire feed with optional gas. The panels for my 40 came in so I am practicing on some scrap metal, but I had a problem when I had to put in a...
