WELD TYPE = fillet

JOINT TYPE =tee

POSITION = 4f overhead

VOLTS = 18 volts

WIRE SPEED = 305 IPM

ADDITIONAL SETTINGS = 

TIPS:

A relatively short stickout aka contact to work distance CTWD of 3/8” to 1/2" makes a big difference.

The technique shown is a very slight side to side motion while keeping the arc on the front edge of the puddle
