Show me the drag technique. No ocillation? Is that the same as spiraling? I've been teaching myself to weld out of necessity. So this is educational.
I have a HF special too. It's a Chicago Electric Dual Mig 131. I use the .030 flux core that came with it.
I start with about 1/4 wire showing at the tip and move slowly while making a small circular motion with the tip. With thte setting at max 2, about a 4 wire speed it seems to leave a nice bead and if I go slow enough, seems to get good penetration.
I just had to re-mount my steering box, and it took a couple times welding the frame inserts to eliminate the seam left after grinding smooth at the frame.
