Crank the heat all the way on these small welders and only weld for a very short time in a strreatch.When you get a hissing sound then you have the wire speed set right.Bevel any but welds and lay the filler into the V grove.Grind down to bare metal to get the best penetration with small welders.

Unfortunately, I only have a Campbell Hausfield WF1800 welding machine. Unlike most of the low-end units I've seen, this one doesn't have the wire speed adjustment knob. It only has two settings, High and low. The wire speed is preset to the heat setting. So I have less control over the welds than most with similar machines. Wish me the best.
