you might be new here but you've already captured the mood and settled in fineAh yes Wiltshire, the gateway to Hampshire.

I'm using a circular motion. I true the back and forth approach but like the circular way betterHow are you moving the torch? Is it a slow steady continuous movement or are you whipping it back and forth a bit?
It’s the combination of heat and the motion of the torch that’s causing the ridge. If you try pushing with no weave that ridge should go. You’re putting molten wire onto a colder part of the weld and it’s freezing rather than flowing.I'm using a circular motion. I true the back and forth approach but like the circular way better
OK, the torch motion is important at lowish amps. Either try the e motion for the torch which is on YouTube. Make sure the flat part goes through the middle of the pool to keep the pool flowing. Or turn up the amps a bit, say 150 to 160.It's a parweld 255, I suppose semi synergic would be more accurate, put in the wire size and adjust the amps iaw the chart or there abouts anyway. No gas settings or anything like that. But I thing the amp setting chart is a bit optimistic. I have had similar results with different gauge materials, all had a peak.
