    Since you are slotting your subframe mounts you should put hash marks on it for adjustment marks kinds like the top of a coilover with a center mark on the subframe bush housing. Will make it handy as a quick check to make sure it hasn’t moved while on a track day

    @1012Mrjesse 2 года назад

    Pulse is a great feature to get a dab rhythm going for filler wire. If you add filler every time it pulses to higher amperage, it helps keep you consistent. I also suggest not jumping as far ahead on your welds as you do while tig welding. Try to jump about half the distance of your last bead, or maybe about a 1/16 of an inch every time you add filler, that’s how you get that really nice stacking dimes look. Another good way to know how far you should jump ahead is by the thickness of your filler. Jump ahead about the same amount as the thickness of whatever your filler size is.
