Reply:Isn't that pretty, but you did give him something for nothing, haha.I'd rather be hunting........USE ENOUGH HEAT.......Drifting around Aussie welding more pipe up, for something different.....wanting to get home.
Reply:Yup, a 1/2" fillet is pretty darn big and a LOT of filler.1/4" stick at 300-350 amps maybe?7018 or 8018?  Your title says 70 but the posting said 80.  Not that it matters a whole lot for the fillet size.  The best laid schemes ... Gang oft agley ...
Reply:moonrise, 1/8" 8018 125 amps.   I can't weld vertical up with anything bigger than 5/32.I burned 15 lbs yesterday.  Those ups go slow.  I get about an inch from one rod on the second pass.  There are 3 starts and stops in that picture.NO duane, no snow!  Just sunshine and a little breeze.David Real world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
