Mig Droplet?

[the_big_1]

Hi Guys,

When using my Clarke 90 Mig, I get what looks like a droplet on the tip of the wire when trying to weld. Is this norml or a sign of an incorrect setting?


Cheers All!!!

Yes that's fine, it's just the tip of the wire melting just as you stop the weld

Hi,

The droplet is there all the time during the weld?

Hi,

what do you mean? You won't see the end of the wire during the weld as it will be rapidly melting into the puddle and there will be an arc surrounding the puddle...

Hi ya,

I am sure I can see mine during the weld.
Looks like it's dripping into the pool. Could be an illusion though or maybe wire is to fast or slow?

Think you are in "globular transfer" See page 10 of this manual (quite a good read in general!)

Turn your wire feed up a tad
