Wire quit feeding after I welded it to the tip. Somehow a little piece of welding wire got wrapped around the wire feed. I didn't see it. Re-loaded wire through to the gun, and as soon as I grounded and fed wire, the wire between the end of the roll and the infeed got red hot and melted the plastic guide tube. That wrapped wire was shorting the whole thing out. The molten hot wire cut right through the infeed tube. I managed to turn the tube upside down so the cuts were no longer a factor to finish the job. Fortunately the plastic infeed tube is replaceable. Now I know why.
Break is over. Back out to the garage! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
