Here are a few practice welds, all were done using the pulling method. I have a 185 Portamig on an extension lead. I was using a straight nozzle with 0.6 wire. I use the blue bottom, green top gas bottles from BOC.
I am getting much better at getting the sizzle sound, i concentrated hard on the angle of the nozzle. I know i still need to be more consistent and better at keeping it straight. I have a few welds that look cold on 2mm etc but i think most are ok. I never blu through the 0.8 sheets, so happy with that. I kept stopping to check i was still going straight, looking through my new auto mask.
I shall be doing some fillet welds once i get some more scrap from the steel yard.
The first 4 pics are the 2mm practice and lap welds, last 4 are the 0.8 lap and practice welds. The first two are the weld pics then the last two of the 4 are the penetration welds.
I dont get much time with the welder because it stored at home and its heavy
