rate my stickwelds
I have a question about the penetration of my welds. I use a 2mm rod on 1.6mm thick walls with 50Amps or so, stickangle around 45degrees and a 1~2mm arc, this are the results:
Is this good? or how schould the penetration look like ?
And this is some fooling round with weld-els, 2.6mm thick, 80amps 2mm electrodes:
Straight lines is not that big of a problem 80amps, 2mm thick, 2mm electrodes :

I'm using e6013 rods from different brands though. The more expensive ones give me a smoother beed than the cheaper ones. There is also difference in the coating of the sticks. The expensive ones give me nicer beads, but are harder to lay straight and have a light coating. The cheaper ones have a darker coating, weld easier but aren't so sexy to look at The diffence in coating has something to do with basic /acid type of electrode i think. (dunno if it is the right translation )

I'm sporting the sony DSC S75 it's a real bad *** camera if you know how to use it. Shooting mice pictures is another thing I like to do when I'm not busy with my car
