Welding Tips and Tricks

hello, micheal here, wish to know the best settings on a miller deltaweld machince using 035 wire, and c25 gas

Whatta ya welding?

Welcome to the forum, Michael! I had to look up the Miller Deltaweld, since I wss not familiar with it- looks like a VERY capable machine.

The settings for the machine are driven by the thickness and type of metal you plan to weld, and by the type of joint. Miller has a weld calculator, here:

The calculator gives a starting point for a given weld but you need to fine-tune for best performance. Just curious, is this your personal machine?

For the 'spit' or 'pop' it might be wire speed settings, or it might be welder error. If you are moving your gun in and out, lengthening and/or shortening your stick out, that will happen. Check for excessive spatter; that will tell you if you are getting too much stick out.
