Mig welding technique

[GregWeld]

The correct answer is "it depends".... either way is fine. Settle for the one you're the most comfortable doing. A good weld is not about pushing or pulling -- but about the PROPER penetration - and not undercutting - and the correct amount of fill material etc. It has much more to do with speed - heat - feed speed etc.

Sometimes I push - sometimes I pull - sometimes you're welding upside-down and backwards. It's whatever you have to do to get 'er done. The actual WELD quality is the key.
