Well, I fired it up and made a few passes with the flux core. I had a few pieces of 3/16 angle iron and just made some lines on the surface. looked pretty crappy, then I welded two together and the weld looked not bad. I switched to the gas and did the same with the L-56 wire. I set the tension to recommended and melted the end of the contact tip as the wire wasn't feeding. Good thing they gave me a few spares. I tried welding some lines along a vertical piece and had great gobs of weld falling and sticking onto the other leg of the angle. Stuck pretty good as I could not knock the blobs off with a cold chisel. I may have to get someone over to give me a few pointers. Having fun though.
I used up the sample spool of L-56 and went to buy some more. All I could find is S-6. Anyone know the difference in L-56 and S-6? And does it matter which I use?
Once again, thanks for your help.
