Default Re: Bad mig welds

Going to try cleaning gun. It does seem to be a sheilding problem after searching the net. The tips got changed several times while I was having this problem as there was a lot of splatter. Tried differant pieces of metal to make sure it was not problem, all was cleaned with grinder before welding. I really could not believe the welds I was getting at 1st. They reminded me of brazing or soldering due to how smooth it was and the edges looked like they flowed into the metal. The welds I started getting though made it look like I was useing the 120v fluxcore on something to big. Thanks for all the replies. Got a lot answers in a short time. Will post what I find
