Pushing goes against everything I've been taught when welding produces slag no?cj737 wrote:Reduce your stick out and run in a “push” angle while welding flat. Always helps.

Re: Bad slag coverage in flat horizontal position
So far it happens with Vulcan wire and also Lincoln Innershield NP-211tweake wrote:one very important thing is what wire are you running?
there is some big differences in wire. quite likely its not the one the machine is programmed for, which is usually why "synergic settings" don't work.

Re: Bad slag coverage in flat horizontal position
Instead of,saying "synergic settings", please tell me what your actual WFS and voltage is. P.s.: stickout is too much. Shorten to just a smidge under 1/2" for 035 diameter gasless flux core. Unfortunately I don't know. This one just has the arbitrary letters and numbers on the dial

Re: Bad slag coverage in flat horizontal position
Polarity is correct. See below pic. I am using a drag angle of about 10°. There is no gas running as I don't even own a tank to plug in the back. CTWD is 3/4". Weld underneath is solid. I'm not saying it looks good due to my skill, but it is solid metal at least. I know the welder isn't a name ...

Bad slag coverage in flat horizontal position
Hey all. I have a weird issue I can't find an answer to. I'm using a Vulcan Migmax 215 running off 240 on my generator. Pictures below are using a 1/8 piece of angle iron that I prepped before welding. .035 wire on synergic settings. When running straight beads in a flat horizontal position, I'm not...
