MIG/MAG Welder

You set up the jig, tack the assembly and run MIG/MAG fill passes on steel from 3 to 12 mm, working from the drawing and the weld symbol given for each joint. Before striking an arc you check the wire feed, the gas flow and the earth clamp. After welding you grind the seams that will be painted, measure the frame with a tape and a square, mark the piece with your own number and tell the foreman about any porosity. Two shifts run 07:00-15:00 and 15:00-23:00 with a weekly rotation, and Saturday is voluntary and paid on top.
