- Current setting
- Length of arc
- Angle of electrode
- Manipulation of the electrode
- Speed of travel
The above listed 5 will help you improve your welds particularly if you are a newbie. If you are still thinking about which machine to buy then these below listed tips will help you decide if you should buy this welder or not.
- For an all purpose welding utility you can go in for Miller’s Thunderbolt. A DC powered machine is more advantageous than an AC powered one as it starts easily, produces less spatter and smooth arcs are possible too.
