I have a check I don’t think it doesIf you turn up the voltage, does the wire speed increase in relation to it?
No makes no differenceIf you turn up the voltage, does the wire speed increase in relation to it?
It’s new as couple months old but I’ve only just set it up and used it todayWhen you say "new" is that actual new or just new to you? If it is "actual new" then I think you should consider returning it from whence it came!
It doesn’t appear to be slipping ! I’ve just read on instructions that wire speed is determined by material thicknessIs the drive wheel, the correct size for the wire, is it slipping. Have you stored the torch correctly and not kinked the torch liner
Ok I have a look in morning ! I think the drive wheel has .8 and 1.0 I’m currently using 0.8 which is same for my flux core wire ! I haven’t checked the torch liner yet but machine is new so shouldn’t be and damageThe drive wheel normally has two groves in it, one for .6 wire, the other .8 wire. Inside your torch is a liner, like a small piece of tube, if its kinked it can cause the wire feed to struggle.
Stick your voltage roughly where you need it, pull the trigger for 15 seconds at wire speed 2. Measure how much comes out. Turn wire speed to max and try again for 15 seconds, see how it compares.
Some machines are semi syngenetic, ie as you increase the voltage, the wire speed increases proportionally. Other you need to set the wire speed manually.
You’re wrong mate it’s all plugged in and running and producing nice welds ! I just haven’t updated any pics but it’s set up and running very wellThat's about the tenth picture of this machine I have seen and still no torch or leads plugged in.
So why wasnt it working right origionally!You’re wrong mate it’s all plugged in and running and producing nice welds ! I just haven’t updated any pics but it’s set up and running very well
I never said it wasn’t working right I just questioned the wire speed which once I struck the arc today it picked up and behaved the way it shouldSo why wasnt it working right origionally!
