Hey Todd
This last weekend I ran some test welds on some .063 wall 1" sq tube for you. I ran welds with an .030 and .035 E 70S-6 and C25 shielding gas. For the .030 wire the settings on the door of the machine worked perfect for me. With the .035 wire the setting on the door was a little hotter then I liked. In the end with the .035 my settings were voltage tap #2 and 25 on the wire speed. Now, I had planned on posting some pictures of these welds for you. However, my wife did some cleaning around the house yesterday, and so far I haven t been able to find the pieces so that I can take some pictures of them. If I happen to find them I ll take some pictures and post them. Oh, by the way between the .030 and .035 , I liked running the .035 wire better. However, please keep in mind that I have always used .035 wire for 16ga. so the .030 is new to me.
Now, along with the 16 ga I also ran some welds on some 3/16" mild steel. For this I only used an .035 E70S-6 and C-25. I had these test pieces out in the shed with the welder so I was able to take a few pictures of them for you.
So, lets get to showing the pictures. This first weld is a horizontal T joint. I ran this weld using a circular (oval) oscillation. Machine settings were voltage tap #3 and 38 on the wire speed. Now I only use this oscillation for non-critical welds. The most common time that I use this oscillation is when Im welding on a project that contains 1/8" and 3/16". This allows me to use the same machine settings for both thicknesses, so that I don t have to keep going back to the machine to change my settings. On the 3/16" I use this motion and on the 1/8" I travel straight or use a slight side to side wiggle. Anyway here is the picture.

,just think you will have that bad boy all tuned in and Dan will be asking you for settings
