Never had any problems with my fusion 220 gun, and still on orginal tip.

I was recently looking for a slightly better gun for my 211 than the m100 that it came with. I researched several brands and I remember looking at this gun. i am glad I read this article. I ended up buying the weldmark by tweco original 150 with 10' whip. I am not sure if the gun is going to be what I wanted. I bought it for running light to medium duty work with .035 dualshield wire. after I received the gun it became apparent that for what I needed to weld that the supplied m100 would do the work just as well.
...I remember any time I ran a bead in overhead position. . getting Slag caught down in the nozzle was always a possibility. if the amount that is falling away is excessive then some adjustments should probably be made to wfs and voltage or gas flow etc... excessive spatter is always usually a sign the parameters are off imo

i'd like to know with a miller deltaweld,what is the best setting....wire,and heat, to get less spatter.

Here's a rule of thumb, knowing nothing about your situation as you've told us nothing...

Lots of heavy hard to remove spatter indicates too much wire speed for the voltage, or, conversely, inadequate voltage for the wire speed.
