slow down speed up wth man

im freaking out over here
i just ran a 20 amp seperate circuit for this thing....
i have a 20 amp breaker and 22' of 12/2 to its own outlet....
it turns out before i was on a 15 am breaker
and now it over heats.....

so do u mean slow down with the amount of welds or slow down while welding

 

Missed a spot.

Woot,woot my best bead yet.... Any tips advise Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

 

make sure you push your welds.. dont drag them looks like flux core rod. i hate the shit.

 

i have been doing pulling the welds.....and yes its .35 flux cored wire
eventually i will hook up the gas....
so your saying try n push the weld.....
will do.....

anyone know where to find some cheap metal to practice on
dude over here wants $70 for a 3' x 4' sheet of 11 gauge sheet metal

 

scraps at the local metal shop?

 

I was always taught to drag with flux core. If you go the other direction, you end up throwing slag all over the area you're about to weld and you can't control your arc as it will start jumping all over the place. In the end it will look like a big booger if you push the puddle with flux.

 

me dont know dude in video i watched told me to pull

 

drag and pull...same thing

My grandpa referenced a goofy phrase to remember as a general guide - "if there's slag, you want to drag"

dunno if that helps or not

 

oh
children do not weld without gloves
dont ask how i know

 

So my for world class work.
