The first picture is flat 140 Amps at 50% arc force. I held a tight arc, even travel speed. The slag was very easy to remove, but didn't peel off. You'll notice that this is the second pass (I forgot to take a picture after the first pass). The second picture is also flat 140 Amps at 100% arc force....

Thanks all. I'll try those tips after work. See how it comes out. I'll take some pics to show.

I'll do that. I've seen those pics. That's where I got the idea.

Thanks Louie. I'll give that setting a try and tweek it accordingly from there.

I've done this once before, but I don't remember what the settings were on my welder. I've seen it a few times, where with the right setting, and a good pass, the slag will peel off without having to chip away at it. I have an Everlast MTS 200. It's a DC only welder. I use good old Licoln Excalibur ...

Pictures off your actual welds would help There isn't any weld, because it just burns right through. So what I ended up doing was spot welding in all the burn through. Then I took a grinder to it and smooth it all out. It's ready to weld, just haven't gotten to it yet since I been busy. AKWeldshop,...

image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Sorry guys, its been a rough couple of days at work getting extra hours. Anyway, I measured the thickness of the steel, and it's 2/32". That is some very thin stuff. I was messing around with the settings, and tried 15V-15.6V. The wfs was around 200-280 ipm. Here ...

What size wire are you running? Assuming you are using .035 your wire speed of 400 is way to high for the voltage shown. Try the wire speed in the 220-250 range and adjust from there. -Jonathan Yes, I am running .035 wire. That's not the settings I was using though. That's just a picture I took las...

I'm running 75/25 ar/co2. Sorry I wasn't able to get any pictures posted yet. I went home tired and called it a night. I'll try to get some tonight. The picture I attached here is one I took a week ago. Not the best picture, but I'll take some more.

Thanks Jonathan. I'm not a new welder, however, this is my first welder. Most of the time in previous jobs, the machines were already set. Just turn them on. Sometimes I would have to change the settings, but being that those were machines I use everyday, I got used to tweaking them. I don't know th...

I have an Everlast MTS200 multi process welder. I've only used it a handful of times, and so far so good. The problem that I'm having is that I can't figure out how to set the welder to do short circuit mig. I'm guessing this machine doesn't have the ability to do short circuit. Still, just in case,...
