      When someone mentioned pushing the bead instead of pulling, or dragging it along really helped me. Also, being able to control voltage and more importantly how to use it is a huge help for appropriate penetration. It seems you only have a high/low switch, the Lincoln Electric my dad lets me use has A-B-C-D adjustments and I'm now starting to get the knack of to set it up.

        you guys make me laugh. if you want to learn how to weld go take a class, or find a good welder to teach you. Then practice practice practice, stick to your procedures and learn to weld with in them.

        Lean to down hill with a SMAW process and the rest will come much easier.

            I built a little rack out of aluminum yesterday. First time tig welding.


            It really made me realize how easy I have it with the mig....

              I'm quite the opposite. I like TIG a lot better. Learned TIG first. Then went to MIG at home, since TIG is fucking $$.

              I'll take a few pics of my first time welding ever.

                What's the best way to reduce splatter with a gasless flux core mig?
                I know it'll never produce the same results as with gas, but I'd like my welds as cleanas I can get them!
                First off, if you want to use the correct terminology, there is no such thing as gasless MIG.
                If you are using a wire feed welder, it would either be MIG, FC, or dual shield. No such thing as gasless MIG.

                If you want to reduce spatter, shorten your arc length, and decrease your amperage if necessary.
                Also only weld in the overhead position and you'll never get any spatter. :mrgreen:

                  Im so used to being able to hold a part in one hand, tack it, and then lay my bead with the mig

                  With the tig I've gotta use clamps and what not, lol. I did tack with no filler rod, however. It is a big learning curve for me
