Harbor Freight welding rods????????!
I was about to tackle a fence repair in my back yard so I decided to freshen up a bit. I am using Harbor Frieght rods and can't seem to dial in my welding. I am using 6011 and 7018 1/16 and 1/8 rod on my practice piece also 1/8 where I am trying to run beads. My bead profile seems kinda low or if stay to long I tend to burn through. Not cleaning the slag makes it difficult to stack the beads and Cleaning the slag is very difficult.
Suggestions????????
How thick and what kind of metal are you working with or planing on working with? Post some pics of your test passes it will make it easier for you to get the answers you need
I have more questions than answers

Whats the voltage on the machine and how many amps?
Are you using an extension cord?
Cleaning back to bare metal before welding?
Piccies please or it never happened.
