We have improved a simple old welding transformer as far as it was worth it.
It can be used for SMAW ("stick" welding) after a personal introduction!
Settings
The large tri-star knob on the front adjusts the current ("amps"). In general, you'll need higher current for thicker electrodes.
The approximate thickness range and currents are indicated by a yellow pointer at the top - take the time to find your optimum so you do not get stuck (insufficient current) or burn through thin workpieces (often a sign of excessive current)!
