With the recent discussion on welders, I couldn't resist posting this here. I know it's not the right place, but . . . .:Attachment 81741
Unless thats a really bad pic I would be offering an extra 15 bucks per hour to get rid of the undercut and the lack of penetration in weld number 2 :) :)Quote:

Yes a bigger machine probably would be better, but I need to look at the cost as well, anyway if I need to do big long welds and I can't do them at home, I can always get it done at work.
I went down the cheaper path too first time with the rossi welder. A 130 amp Mig only welder will do anything that needs welding on the pooey. But if it costs 300 bucks to buy, and you have the option of spending another 200 to 300 on a Bossweld / unimig / boc ( cigweld ) unit think hard because if you need the extra power or the ability to tig you will be unhappy. Been there, done that. And a lot of the cheapys have a non removable torch. Avoid this if you can!

I mentioned earlier somewhere that if I need to do bigger longer welds and this machine can't handle it, I can get it done at work by a professional welder and I don't see any need for a tig, well but for me anyway.

Update - I finally got to the bottom of my Rossi 130amp MIG and its weld issues. After many emails back and forth the supplier finally admitted the welder was not as advertised however its my responsibility to see thru the information and do my own research - Yep, what a process. the welder is specifically sold for metal, mild steel, stainless, gas or gasless. Problem is the description is basically a cut and paste from other welders as the distributor is simply a wholesaler, which explains why it took so long to get to the bottom of the issue.Quote:

Won't take it back, won't refund the cost and won't even entertain a return and upgrade to a welder that actually will do what the advert says. Very pissed off, but there is nowhere to go to appeal.
At least it confirms it wasn't operator error - this time!!
