Incidentally, what is your opinion of the travel speed in the procedure? I'm having trouble on the fillet, the procedure states a 6mm(1\4 inch) weld, but with the volts/amps/ sickout/travel speed, I can't seem to get it down to that size, maybe if you have a spare moment perhaps you could have a quick go with those settings and see what you think![]()

The gas is 7% Co2 2.5% O2 rest argon.
I was just finding it hard to get a 1/4 inch weld on the fillet at that travel speed
Ill see if I have a spare hour or two tomorrow and try again lol
Or I'll just up the speed a little on the final procedure lol
Those welds of yours look greatI hope mine look like that on Monday

Agh we all forget the polarity occasionally lol
One more thingthe inspector may want me to stop and restart, do I do the same as mma, start in front, pull the weld over the crater, then continue? Or just start on the crater? Or grind it back and restart?
Sorry for all the questions, but I don't want to fail, it would be a very expensive failure lol. Best to cover all bases![]()
