John,

Photo of earlier wheel well lip weld ground some, with a large stone. Will grind more with smaller stone later. What do you think about condition. Second photo is it polished a little more.

FYI- two photos below are reversed.

"What size tungsten and filler rod are you using?"
Tungsten is -0.092 red head;
Filler Rod is - 0.063 for these welds, also have 0.035, and 0.093

Unit does not have controls for phasing, etc., this unit has some electronic controls that effect output based on the amperage setting you choose. Probably have not been using it correctly as I leave it on high amperage and just used foot control. Today started setting amperage for thickness of metal welding, your comment got me to thinking ( remembering what manual said).
