Just my $0.02 here, from reading this arguably rediculous thread... might as well jump into the mud also...
Sully2,
You sound like the kind of guy who has a hundreds of hours spent reading the Miller and Lincoln and Hobart websites, and maybe even thumbed through a welding book at Home Depot, but you only have an hour of arc-on weld time.
If you can't get an arc started with SMAW without the "Crutch" of DC, then maybe you ought to turn down the volume on your keyboard and have someone show you how to strike an arc... maybe once you have mastered that, and lots of other things, for example, like dealing with arc blow, will you be qualified to advise others...
Like I said, just my $0.02.
So, Sully2, what WOULD you do if you're working on a project and you start getting a lot of arc blow...? Would you even know it if you saw it?
Not wanting to go to war with you, just stating that the volume on your keyboard is a little loud for your stated experience level.
