Great advice from the mig-welding folks says 7mm holes and power set at 1.5 times the metal thickness. Up to now I have tried it with 5mm holes and not really worked but then I have a spot welder for most jobs. Mig-welding also show a standard nozzle but you can get the one with set stand off which seems better. So what techniques work best - what do you folks do? I need to do the deformation panel next and the section might be too much for my spot welder..
I just upgraded to cebora awesome machine apparently has a spot weld function. (Been welding for years just getting my head round it now I have new machine) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I use the reverse of my joggler tool to pop the holes, then open them out to ‘a bit bigger’ (around 7mm I reckon.) I strike the arc on a fairly high setting and kind of spiral around once you get the pool. Make sure everything is clamped tight. I use weld through primer too. Last time I did a deformation panel I screwed it on with big sheet metal self tappers to get it aligned, welded through the holes and then removed the screws and zipped those up.
