Need Welding tip/help
Hi:
I am very (I really mean very!) new to welding. I just started to use my Hobart handler which I got as a gift 3 years ago!. At this point I am just trying to practice with any piece of scrap metal that I can find. I am also watching a lot of online videos. My problem at this point is that I am burning through the metal almost every time that I start the welding. I have played with wire speed and amperage but I have a hard time to find the right spot. I started with the set up that the machine suggest but I still have issues. I am just using the flux core wire that the machine came with since I don't have the gas bottles at this time. I appreciate the help.
