I bought a MIG welder some time back, and have used it extensively since. I'm getting pretty good with it except in one area, where I'm not happy. Fillets are driving me up the wall. They're strong, and nearly OK, but I know I could do much better.
On a fillet weld in the horizontal position, should I aim the wire at the junction and try to move it smoothly along the seam, or should I wash the wire up and down?
What's happening is I'm getting uneven welds. I think part of the problem is that I'm having trouble seeing the puddle what with the MIG gun nozzle and the two planes of metal.
Anyone?
