I've been running it at V between 6 and 7. At 7, it seems to be on the verge of being too hot and wanting to melt too far into the 1/8 material but it may just be visually deceiving me because there's no indication on the other side that it's melting too much material.mp4 wrote:You're going the right direction. Make sure you have a very good ground. I've had that be the culprit on more than one occasion. Next - concentrate most of your heat on the thicker metal and zig over to the thinner metal to tie it in. This way you can keep your heat settings up and you'll get a better bead quality without burning through the thin stuff.
Ouch!just by banging on my part with a hammer
