Hey chaps!
Just posted an introduction and had a quick question.
I've got a 90EN, using flux core as a practice at the moment.
I've got the wire feed on around 6, welding pretty slowly everything looks ok through the mask and sounds ok - no spatter to speak of. But the weld is on and off, like spots rather than a continuous weld.
I upped the wire feed, but that results in a rather odd squealing from the machine, I assume perhaps the spool is too tight so loosened somewhat, but still a squeek over say 5 or 6 wire speed.
Is this my problem? I noticed every when going slower the weld is still very much like lots of little dots rather than one continuous weld.
Thanks!
