Yep -- too much gas will do that!
Gas lens allows you to run less CFM on the gas.... I'm running maybe 12/14 cfm with a #5 cup and a 1/16th tungsten when doing sheet metal.
I don't know if that's "right" but it works for me.
I run 40 amps == but use a foot control (the new wifi version from Miller - super slick!) and am probably welding at 20 or so but I've learned to use the foot control to ramp up and slow down etc as needed. Since I'm a long time drummer -- using the "independence" of my appendages (LOL) isn't an issue for me.
RODGER ---- I'd come down for a welding class.... and some bar b q.... There's always more a guy can learn. I'm a self taught mo'roon.... and would love to get some tips and tricks!
