Thanks, thats a really good one! Ill keep it bookmarked for easy reference.

Thanks!

Hi again! I just got hold of some 6013 1/8 rods, and tried welding 6013 again. Seems I might have held to short an arc, because when I lengthened the arc a bit the slag pushed back in the puddle. If I held a short arc the slag would kind of catch the edge of the rod and start to solidify, and the pu...

I´ll try out dragging it next time, think Ill burn a few rods just to try different things. Actually I did weld the splitter with 3/32" 7018´s, and they welded really good! Splitter is holding up and it works better with the new knife. Welded up a base for it too, from 2" galvanized pipe I...

Ill try to get some of those. They are the ones you are supposed to "whip", right? Or can they be welded like 7018´s? I was welding a new knife, or whats it called in english, to my hydraulic log splitter. The old one was a bit low, got twisted and was way to much of a wedge, so it stuck o...

Yeah, its DC only, and about 3/32". I increased the amps to see if it welded better, but it didnt help much. But it ran better oven 120 as opposed to under 90. The package actually says 90-110amps. So is 6013 best run on AC then? The 7018 welded well at 110 amps. It welded lower too, but was ha...

I bought a big pack of 2,5mm 6013. They start easily but Im having a hard time welding with them. I cant really see the difference between slag and puddle, and sometimes get 2 beads with slag in the middle. Or big holes filled with slag. What happens is that the slag seems to "grow" or &qu...
