you want to keep the tip close to the material, it doesn't let the wire melt lopsided and walk your weld like a drunken hobo down an alley NEARLY as much as 1" away. 1/4" is ideal iirc, i've gone up to 1/8" away for some precision small stuff/tacking, it's much more controlable.

Yeah, when I weld I like to get that *bzzzzzzzzt* sound sort of echoing in the cup. Just listening to it you can hear how much of a better arc you're getting when close. It can gunk up the cup and tip rather quick but your weld will be so much better and the heat just seems to soak in faster. Maybe I'm an idiot for explaining it like that.. but I've done a bit of flux coring on my little Craftsman (10+lbs of wire) and that's just my experience.

the only problem i have with that is when i get that close i burn threw i hope to make a new 1 any way cuz the dp was 1inch lower then exhast so i had to pull the exhast down and strech my flex pipe. But would you figure the height of my tip and me not cleaning the metal would be the cause of my splatter?
