I've been having trouble getting distance right on lap joints (on 2mm steel). With stick-out at about 1/4" I'm either dipping the tungsten or not getting a good wled pool.
When I tried fillet welds instead, as the stick-out has to be much greater, I found it much easier to judge the distance because I could see the tungsten more easily.
In both cases I've been running about 70A and 10L/min.
Am I likely to find a better balance between stick-out, amps and gas flow that might allow me to see the tungsten any better?
