I'm having a stick welding problem,every time i weld,the welding rod gets longer and longer and my work suffers a deep grove.Could this be caused by reverse polarity? I now have a pile of 3' welding rods and lots of groovy work.
You may not be aware of it, but reverse polarity runs the power meter backwards. Call Puget Power and get them to read that meter right now. If it runs far enough, they will be making your house payment. :-)

From a quantum mechanics standpoint, this is possible, Pretty damn unlikely, but possible.
I think you are runing a single phase welder on 2 phase power mains. Always cuases problems like this. I had the same priblem with a MIG machine. I kept filling up welding wire spools, and all my projects fell apart.

I've experienced a similar problem, only it was my nose that kept getting longer and longer ...

I'll say this,you people have a great sense of humor.Enjoy reading your post.
The Latin meaning of politics. Poli, meaning " many". Tics, meaning " blood-sucking creatures".
I think you have the stinger clamped to the table and the rod in the ground clamp.
