For everything to be perfect and easy to learn, I recommend buying the station: an automatic helmet, hammer, magnet, gloves and sticks 3 boxes (1.6 + 2.5 + 3.2). With this material, you just have to follow one of the many videos available on the Internet. I already had a little welded there over 20 years and I was pleasantly surprised with the Inverter system, effectively, chopsticks virtually no longer stuck to the bait ... which greatly facilitates thing! From there, it is nevertheless necessary training to acquire the good gesture. I wanted scrap waste to landfill in the area and I have eaten of the stick for three days to find the right intensity depending on the diameter of the rods and the thickness of the iron pieces. It is no secret: one that will be trained for an hour welding will weld worse than the one that will be trained for 10 hours. In order to finish his work, a small grinder is welcome.
