That's a pretty thing to see. Now you've got it.

I was havin this issue. I think it's because as I stopped I was pulling the rod straight away from the weld (long arcing). I started ending by running gently up the bevel and it fixed the problem.

Very pretty to me. I know the feelin though. I'm in school. It's our summer break and I can't wait to get back to welding.

I think rake is on it. I was on 3G a couple of weeks ago. The first rod would go in like butter and the second rod is when the arc would get crazy on me. Teacher wasn't sure. I read up a bit and think the plate got magnetized.

Thanks fellas. Of course we didn't have class last night so I get to wait till Monday to try out the info ( the teacher chipped slag without glasses and you can guess the outcome ). But the help is appreciated.

Hey guys. First off I've been really thankful for the helpful tips both here and from Jody. I'm in a night welding class in Nashville and am on my 3G stick test (have been hittin it for a month). I'm getting some undercut on my root pass and wondered if anyone could offer any advice. I'm using 1/8&q...
