Re: .021 tube welding help.

Wire size I am using is .030 Tube is 1.75 x 120 Almost 1/8 wall thickness going to .024 seems small for that. Do you have any recommendation on settings.

Re: .021 tube welding help.

I am using a Miller 251 setting I have tried from 17v 250ws to 19v 305ws
18.5v 180ws seems to be best so far , tried welding the top than the bottom and then the sides but just not with appearance. Looking for any recommendations that might help.
