OK lads and lasses, I finally got a break in the weather and a bit of time to myself to have a go with my welder. The beads start at the left of the pictures. I known they look horrible and I nearly didn't post this but everyone has to start somewhere.
The first five are at the same power and wire speed settings just getting a feel for things, 6 is with a higher wire feed,7 I tried pulsing, 8 - 14 high power and wire speed and getting a move on.
15 - 19 are with a different make of wire and back to the same settings as No6. The remaining 3 we'll not talk about.
These are all with flux core on 2mm steel, also as you can see I'm getting severe distortion. All advice, criticism,sniggers and guffaws will be gratefully received.
