Re: My 54

looking good!

on sheetmetal I use an unconventional way to set the welder, i turn the heat all the way down and the wire about half, and put a long tack on, like a full second if you said "ONE" out loud deliberately. if it pushes back on my grip I turn the wire down. if it pops and crackles I turn the wire up. with 0.23 I have a hard time getting enough filler in the weld so my setting is kind of high. i actually like using 0.30 wire for sheetmetal, my 0.23 wire is still on the spool when i used it probably 10 years last.
