Why is it important to prep surfaces before welding?
A key element of a high quality weld is a clean surface. The surface to be welded must be free of any contaminants prior to welding because when impurities are introduced, the welded joint is weakened. Rust, paint, and grease are commonly found contaminants which are quickly and easily removed with LightWELD XC. Optimized preset cleaning modes makes this system fast, effective, and easy to learn to operate. No chemicals or abrasives needed.
