== MIG Welder induction - Level 1 ==
Level 1 induction in intended to cover the basics of how to use the [[Tools/EMP235ic|MIG welder]]. It should cover basic safety information and how to use the welder effectively on mild steel in positions 1G and 2G/F. People undertaking MIG induction need to have overalls or other non-flammable clothing that covers all exposed skin except for head and hands, clothes are likely to get burn spots on them. Wear stout shoes or boots, no open shoes allowed. If you have any metal you'd like to practice on then please bring it with you so long as it's plain steel with no galvanised coating or paint but if you don't have any then we usually have suitable scrap around to practice on. There's no charge specifically for the induction but normal welder usage charges apply, you should expect it to cost around £10 for the induction and a bit more if you spend some time practicing afterwards which is strongly recommended
Before the induction the inductor should prepare coupons consisting of 4 sheets of 2mm mild steel sized 200mm x 50mm and one of which has been drilled with 6 x 10mm holes. All edges cleaned and deburred but mill-scale left on the sheet. One additional bit of steel, thickness >1.5mm and size > 150mm x 150mm will be required for stringer bead practice and faults demonstration.
