whitesihatch Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 your welds look better with the more pics you post. I can see a big improvement in your stability and travel speed as well as heat and feed settings. Honestly dialing in your settings is half the battle, everybody has their preferences. The charts on the machine are a good starting point, but what suits your technique comes with experience. 4 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Are you taking a college class or do you have that table set-up at your place?? Oh my 2 cents ,, weld the hell outta things while your young,,, once your eyesight starts to go,, (or done gone in my case) ,,, it is ALOT harder with reading glasses.. 3 Quote Link to comment
