Quote: What size wire are you using in your mig?...and is it a 110 or 220 machine?.....what type of gas?
I'm using .035" with 75/25 argon/co. It is a MM251 run on 220V. I think I had the setting on 16.5 with 250 wire speed (recommended for the rail thickness). I did some practice cutting it down to 215, and it was better, but still not like my horizontal welds. I will experiment with maybe 180 wirespeed with same voltage and see how that works.
I was using the inverted "V" pattern, but need to get better OP control I guess. Practice, practice.

what PSI are you running the gas at? Also you might go to an .030 wire.... the smaller wire helps control peaking and puddling. .035 is more for 1/4" and up.
It is set at 25psi. You are right about the wire. I didn't have any .030" spools, but I should pick up a spool. Thanks for the advice.
