Jim Howse Spray and pulsed spray really are great processes and sometimes they are not understood well. I hope the videos help and when you get that new machine reach out to me if you need any help with it.

Thanks ,

1 - I would clean the metal to a shiny steel before welding- it will make a big difference.

2 the plastic protector on some stainless metal is very difficult to remove if it is old. I have tried getting it warm/hot, paint thinner, and a scotchbright abrasive. They can all work, but it depends on how much time you have and what final finish you want on the material.

3 yes the bronze filler metals are a more sluggish puddle.

Hope this helps!

Welding codes typically say -Sound weld metal-. How you produce that is not as critical. It’s more of an end result type thing.

I agree with Aren Jenkins and typically use 3X the diameter as a good rule of thumb but that’s not written in stone. As far as looks I try to teach consistency as much as possible. A good looking weld is going to be very consistent. Hopefully this helps.

I have a slip roller made for sheet metal fabrication. I use it occasionally to roll a round firepit and a few other small parts but nothing on a routine basis. One thought to make several parts the same is to tack weld them in an area that is not important to the final project and cut as many at one time as reasonable. Share your project when done, I would like to see what you made. And as always feel free to reach out to us for help anytime.

Thanks and good luck!

I know a guy that’s really cheap……

Awesome quality!

Thanks for the feedback, I honestly thought about that but didn’t want to bore anyone. I’m going to keep this in mind next time. Getting feedback from you definitely helps me know what is needed.

Charles Rush what position and joint is causing problems?

I agree with Jody on the voltage and gun angle.

Thanks

Matt

Sorry Charles, just saw this message. Typically worm tracks are caused by a wire stick out too short. Every brand of wire that I have used can have this issue. I have also had problems if the wire is old or has moisture in it. But typically if my settings are all correct it can be fixed by keeping the stick out around 1/2”.

Hopefully this will help you,

Matt
