Hi-this is my 1st post.
I got one of those flux wire mig welders for Christmas. It is just a hobby man's type welder. Uses .030 wire and is good for light steel up to about .125 inch.
I have practiced with it a few times but really am not very good.
I seem to be burning too hot as it is melting holes right thru the material. (.060 steel.
I have it on the low setting and the wire is turned to feed slow. The wire does not seem to be melting fast enough and gets longer as I go.
So I was thinking I might be moving the torch too slow.
Any suggestions on where to set the amperage and wire feed and how fast to move the torch for me to practice?
thanks
