Hello but I'm not building a Haynes roadster, quite

[Bonzo]

I saw your post earlier Davy

To be honest, I had not really given the foot control a fair go .... Me legs were playing silly beggars when I first got the welder

Inspired by your post earlier, just had to give it a try.

I had a root about in my bins, found a bit of 50mm X 50mm X 3.25mm alloy box section & a bit of 5mm alloy plate.
Quite badly Oxidized, been in my bins for a fair few years, I gave it a quick token rub with a wire brush & heres the results.

3.25mm thick box section



A lap joint in some 5mm plate



Not too bad at all in view of the fact that the material is well past it's sell by date !!??

Foot controll works really well & welder was giving a good degree of penetration.
I thought it might struggle with the 5mm plate but to my surprise, coped easily & still had a fair bit of current left in reserve
