Hey all
Out in the shed playing with the mig today. Anyway I have come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with it. The unit is an older unimig craft 180. Prob round the 10 yr old mark. But with not ALOT of use in the last 8 or so.
Anyway was welding up some 2mm box section and basically had the thing on decks highest power setting and approx 2 3/4 put of 10 wire speed and was really struggling for penetration. Now I'm only a novice but I would have thought a 180 amp mig and the second highest setting would be blowing holes in that kind of material. Or am I barking up the wrong tree.
It's an argon mix with.9mm wire. Mild steel.
Any ideas.
Thanks
