    Other videos show short arc length and moving the rod around the puddle. Those items are left out of the description. Are you doing a straight pull or moving around the puddle slightly?

    crank it up 5-7 amps over 2f and keep the arc tight!

    use a larger welding rod as a check to see if the minimum running amperage for it is the same as on the machine, is 90amp actually 90amp or is it 130amp. 220 volt vs 260 volt residential services... running 1/8 7018 on some stuff in F1 at 130amp but the 3/16 7018 also runs at 130amp on the machine, unknowingly running 1/8 7018 at 180amp AC. least its not 50amps low...

      My machine does run a little hot. But no more than few amps unless I run long leads

    Sorry to say, but those welds would never pass on Loyds exams here in europe. Weld is too fat, too much splatter, too much chopped on the edges, and those restarts are terrible.

    Ok, now do the same welds laying in the mud in 30f temps working on a 1965 chevy frame with a generator running a 200 dollar welder. All these videos are best case scenarios, real welders work in the field and they make it work, do a video about that! None ofnthe videos on this channel are done in real life conditions, and they should be

      You wanna see a weld in a bad situation? I’m sure I can simulate that! Maybe not identical but I see value in what you said. Also remember these are for people learning, in a controlled space. They haven’t got thrown to the wolves yet 😂 but I hear yah

    Everything I saw was too cold or too fast. Not tied in to the previous pass. Regardless, a 4f test per AWS D1.1 is just 1 pass on a bend test, must be a 1/4" fillet in one pass so you can't run 3/32. Let me know when you get that certificate.
