Is stainless steel hard to weld ?

[big"d"]

Probably the easiest

Oh yeah ? Ok thanks a lot.

If I'm welding sch40 pipeing, that is 1 1/4 diameter, roughly what should the width of the bead be ?

I find aluminum "easier". I hate stainless,although I do quite a bit of it. Stainless warps terrible, needs ample gas coverage while welding and post flow. and is VERY hard for the beginner to get the heat just right.

Here're are a couple pic's of the foot pedal installed in what I believe to be the correct place.

Thank you, yeah its a little crooked. Just did not feel right putting something that was going to be crooked on a brand new machine, *shrugs*.

Thanks though.

By the way, are those clear tubes holding filler rod ? Where did you get them if so ?

It doesn't look crooked to me...........?

Its a tad off, you can tell in person. The bolts barely want to go in when you have the foot pedal off, not a perfect fit.

Mine's straight but had to hold it straight while I tightened the screws. The clear tubes are the small 1lb packaging for filler rod.

If it's just slightly off and it bugs you - drill the mounting holes out on the bracket just a bit to give you some additional adjusting room.
