Ok gang...got another one I need some help on. The settings on the inside panel call for 10/70 using ER70S-6 for 035 solid mig wire and the gas is 80/20 and I was welding 1/4 inch mild steel. I tried this but I had trouble controling it. The weld was very high. I made a send run only went faster. This helped to lay the bead flatter. This did not pass the destructive test. One slam with the hammer broke the weld. I could see that I had gotten less that 25% penetration. Next I ground off the welds and tried again. I turned down the wire speed first to 60 and left the voltage at 10 (the weld on the far left). This bead was still high. The second and third are welds done with the the wire speed at 50 and voltage still at 10. Still not good. Any suggestions. I tried to maintain the 1/2 inch stick out. The metal had been grinded clean. I did not V the joint. I pushed the weld with a slight tilt so the gun was about 15 degress to the front of the weld.
God I love this welder. Now I just need to get my technique down.
Thanks All
Bob
