Re: My First Welds - Ugly but it's a start
dirty metal or no sheilding gas, cause porosity. And you got it, porosity=weak welds.

Re: My First Welds - Ugly but it's a start
bubble gum, it's ok man, not everyone is a pro right off the bat. First thing, get a new ground clamp. I don't care if you just bought the welder 3 days ago, get a new ground. Not some cheap one either, get an old school ground clamp. Start with trying to weld with smaller pieces, your just wasting ...

:o Yeah I said it, and it fuckin works, you can weld so must faster, BUT! you have to use helium for shielding and you gotta clean off the oxides before you weld, don't use a regualr grinding wheel, the fibers will get stuck in the aluminum and it will be a bitch to weld. i use a flap disc, then i w...

Better Looking Mig welds
