Default Grade my new welds please HUGE PICS 56K NO WAY

This was done with my miller syncrowave 180sd
settings were:

.045 308l filler rod
3/32nd 2% thoricated tungsten
17 series torch
#8 gas lens
20 cfh flow, 15cfh purge flow
60 amps

Material is 1.75" 304 stainless 16 gauge, the same stuff I am building my new tubulars out of (top mount, sidewinder)

i don't understand the last comment... .if you were asking an honest opinion i would say they're pretty good, but if you were doing that just to brag, then i agree...."Get over yourself!"

The only thing I know to look for is a stack of dimes.

Meaning the weld should look like a stack of dimes overlapping each other.

In that area you get an A. I've seen better, but that is impressive.

Alot better than me...Good penatration(no jokes), but if I had to give some construtive critisizm* the bead could be a little tighter and a little more consistansy* in the size but that just for looks of course.

Edit: It's late and my spelling sux.

James, you need to go to the "Smiley Hotrex school of Welding"


If you're not plugging into your mothers dryer, you just aren't doing it right.
