We just bought about 20 or more of the ewm pulse migs for a new job. I start using them when I go back after holidays. I've never really pulsed migged anything, so we'll see what happens.

Love to hear how it goes. Do you know the job yet? Aluminium or steel?

This write up got me thinking.

Or something like the bow rider on this page

Here's another diy flat pack job in a driveway.

It Chro-Molly pipe. Building the subframes for these guys. They already have a number of these machines. They seem to be playing nicely.

Just picked it up from the freight depot


Heavy bastard of a thing though, I think they just put a handle on it so it looks portable

Really decent looking machine Rupes.

Looking forward to seeing some welds.

Yeah,

Brilliant piece of kit, as you might say on the Australian continent.

We in North America have not seen the EWM units imported from Germany yet, that I know of.

I think I heard Fronius may be breaking into the N.A. marketplace though.

Thats more like what the say in England.

We say things like "thats a flash looking banger", "its got all the bells and whistles" or "it's got everything that opens and shuts" as well as any number of non PG rated things.

[C. Livingstone]

I'll bet you had to splash out some dosh for that too!

Ha, ha, ha!

A blind man on a galloping horse would be pleased to see that.

I used the welder today.

Its funny to use,(pulse sounds like a small chainsaw)the settings seemed like it should be cold, but it had really nice power. Doing small runs of butt welds and 6mm fillet welds with 1.2 90s d2 wire. BTW we took of those silly looking guns with all the buttons and fitted a normal bernard gun.

Oh dood, that was the post mix feature. You could have poured yourself a coke while filling a butt.

"Why does my weld look so cold? I didn't even press the damn ice button, just the coke!"

I've got a Binzel on the other mig, but I can't afford to buy another torch right now. Spent too much money on welders as it is. Besides as it came its set up for aluminium with a teflon liner, so I'll leave it for now. Only issue with the torch is the neck seems a bit long.

[weldin mike 27]

Sweet. We don't have much control over our settings. The ground work for the programs has been done, just allowed to have a little tweek with the volts or the arc control settings. Different welder to what I'm used to, but this work is also different.

The best bit is no spatter and being able to run slightly out of position without the puddle falling out.
