[QUOTE="sniper_101, post: 813086, member: 697"] No worries, I understood exactly what you meant. -------- Polarity was definitely the issue. My lack of MIG experience was to blame for this one blindly following the instructions. [ATTACH=full]118948[/ATTACH] Main reason for buying this MIG was having difficulty doing almost overhead welding position needed to do my traction bar brackets on my axle with the arc welder. I tried 6011, 6013, 7018 and 70-105 amps, AC and DC with no luck on an acceptable weld IMO. After a couple test passes with the MIG I feel 90% ready. A very worthwhile investment. Test passes for axle brackets: [ATTACH=full]118949[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]118950[/ATTACH] Wrong polarity: [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/westcoast13/SamsungMobile/88410-1_zps5075ac54.jpg[/url] Thanks again for the help guys. I feel slightly like a fool, but that's life! Lesson learned.
