Evening Guys,
I’ve recently started welding.. I bought myself a rtec 180 welder. Initially I was getting some nice flat but weld spots with my 6mm wire but I have been using rtecs power settings (1 on power 4 on wire speed) on 1mm plate and have been getting far too much build on top with not so good penetration.
My other question is.. should I be seeing penetration on the rear of a joggled panel? I can see heat marks but nothing coming through..
Still in the practice stage with less than an hour or two under my belt so please don’t laugh too much
Third image is the rear of my joggled practice area
Any advice greatly appreciated
