These are pics of my very first welding attempts.
PLEASE go easy on me!!! I know it looks like S&#@!!!!
New Millermatic 211 with Miller Digital Elite helmet
75/25 gas
Helmet settings at 11-0-4
Weld setting set to AUTO
.030 solid Hobart wire
25CFH
My concerns/questions:
1. Is nozzle supposed to touch/rest on material as you are welding? Is Nozzle supposed to rest and slide along the material as you weld?
2. How long is wire supposed to stick out from nozzle? As I weld I believe I move nozzle away from material. When I stop welding, I check my wire and it is sticking out past nozzle approx. 2".
When practicing....
Should gun move right to left, left to right?
How should gun move across material... in incremental movements? Watched a vid and person was drawing like cursive e letter. as he move across material.
