The wire feed speed knob and it's numbers are for you to remember what setting you used and worked for your particular application. They don't mean anything as in a specific ipm. 1=slower & 10=faster, so at setting 6 you got 29" that would equate to 290ipm. Try setting 4 1/2 or 5 and see w...

This is all I have on this computer. I have to find the flash drive with everything else on it.

This younger generation seems fixated on building roll cages, I focus my efforts on learning to stay upright. Len Maybe we are installing them for fear of the older drivers :lol: ZfrkS62- Looks like you are doing good. What are you using the Corolla for? I have mentioned this before, but I hope to ...

This is the project i've been working on. 6 point roll cage in a Toyota Corolla.

It sounds to me like you have a wire feed consistency issue. The machine you are using is a low budget type machine and has low budget parts. The liners in these guns are not great and need to be kept as straight as possible. They can get the job done but bending the liner in any way will cause the...

I havent encounted anything where the welder suddenly spits out more wire, only less, from feed problems. You may have an electrical issue, resulting in the welding circuit being intermittently interrupted. It was more like the setting was suddenly too high. The sound of the roller never changed, t...

Hey, I thought of a possible solution to your spatter issues, it may be because of arc blow. Where magnetic forces effect the way the arc flows, for want of a better description, The arc will waver and pop, and the pool will fly out and the spatter will stick like s$%^ to a blanket. It is common in...

I've run in to that before as well. The weld will look just fine until I stop then a bubble will develop and rise as the puddle cools. It doesn't happen all the time and I can't intentionally duplicate it. I usually just knock it down and tack over the top of it. Do they tend to rise up out of the ...

The following link, shows you the manual that came with my Millermatic. http://forum.weldingtipsandtricks.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2527 It has an excellent troubleshooting section. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MduH4WjXfJU Thanks for the link, Werk. I was able to find the manual online shortl...

Hey there, Welcome along, I will offer a suggestion for your first problem, it sounds like tip of liner was jamming the wire, stopping it from feeding through the gun, while the rollers were still turning. Check your tip by taking it out and running it along a bit of wire, it should be nice and smo...

New member/welder, blah blah blah, yada yada :mrgreen: I say "welder" issues because I am certain the problem is going to end up being operator ignorance. I'm running a Clarkeweld 130EN, .030" ER70S-6 wire with 25% CO2. When I ran into the problems about to be listed, I was constructi...
