Got an new mig welder.
Never mig welded, but have done arc welding on thicker metals before.
Got some light argon shield and ran a few test welds. Last weld I messed up, must of had the nozzle too close and welded a blob on the end of the copper nozzle.
Only had the one so will have to bring a load home from work tomorrow.
This is the first welds I have tried. I tried a couple settings. Did not adjust wire feed at all, but just adjusted the power.
Think I am pretty happy with first welds. Seems to have penetrated quite well. Still getting to know the machine. Only had it on for 5 minutes. Am I heading the right way, any opinions and advice greatly appreciated.
The last picture is of how I want to weld
