Welder's Handbook is a good place to start.
It's available at Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon... If you have a buddy that welds have him walk you through setting it up correctly and doing some good, deep welds. Burn through some pieces, it's good to know what happens if you weld to hot. |

gas MIG will be easy!
I never welded before but got to try yesterday, it only took a couple min before getting a decent weld. also, yes, maybe go to www.autobodystore.com and get the welding 101 VHS. I have it but have not watched it yet. I have the painting 101 video which is great. |

I just got the same welder! I have not had a chance to plug it in, but I did buy a bottle and some steel so I am ready to go. I am no expert but I would say that there is no substitue for practice.
Good luck and enjoy! -Pete |

Go to the Miller welders web site (www.millerwelds.com) and look for their "student pack". It's a box of books, pamphlets, and assorted stuff that's worth much more than the $25 they ask for it. It has a great book on GMAW (aka MIG). The page that has the student stuff is at http://www.millerwelds.com/education/tools/ - all the way at the bottom. The MIG book alone normally sells for the $25 they get for the full student pack.
I'm going through it as I get ready to fire up my new welder, too. (I bought a Hobart Handler 135 with a cart from TollGas on eBay.) |

Great useful info guys... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Did anyone have a problem mounting the welder to the cart? The bottle hits and crimps the gas feed...I did move the welder as forward as I could, its better, but this is a poor design. I did notice that the Miller has the gas feed more on the side. I did have some trouble at first, the feed for the wire was not set correctly, feeding too slow...with the setting on 9, the wire was feeding only a 1/2 inch per second...the feed wheels were turning like crazy. So I fiddled with the wheels, now feeds like crazy!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) even with a voltage of "A" and feed of 3, I was getting good welds with backside penetration... Thanks guys!!! Herb |
