Did you use flux core wire or what?

[Joel]

no, were attempting to penetrate a 1/4 inch flange with a 135 amp welder. why do you ask about flux core? what characteristics make it look like it was made with a flux core welder?

[Joel]

[zbrown]

turn down the wire speed just a hair and the spatter will disappear, or just trigger it

that is the perfect size welder to be doing what you are

what is that 3.5 or 4??

[KA-T_240]

^3inch

Zach, my wire couldn't go any lower(3.5/10) without getting continuous burnback. I know how to set a welder ...and It's 3 inch.

[fanaticrockford]

What model welder is that?
Looks like the one I'm looking at purchasing Lincoln sp135t

The welder is perfectly capable of the job but not with that tiny ass long extension cord.

[Parker]

the cord is bigger than it looks

[Rexwagon]

Looks good parker. Cant wait to see that thing in person

lol, the manual says it will penetrate 3/16... so its not made for that. If either of you wanna come make better welds, your welcome to.

[fanaticrockford]

I'm a beginner welder and can tell you your much better then me Joel. I have been doing a lot of research especially with the Lincoln sp135 which that welder looks to be. So what welder is that?

All I'm saying is that your losing a lot of current with that long extension cord. It may be adequate gauge like parker says but where is it plugged into? I suppose to an outlet? How far away is the outlet from the fuse panel and with what gauge wire?

I can guarantee you if the welder was plugged directly into the fuse panel or to a outlet close by those welds would be better.

I would if i was there

lol, you do realize that means 3/16" full penetration from one side with no joint preparation...............

Good thing you are going for for 100% melt-through on a 1/4" flange when you are welding a 16 ga. tube to it

.little bit of difference going from production welding where coarse machine parameters are set and you are in charge of electrode manipulation only............. don't get more and more into this, the welds look fine, all i am saying is that the machine was not set 100% properly and it wasn't
