For the newer welders out there...a small test.
Below are 2 pics of beads run on the same settings, in the same position. Why do they look so different?
They are both acceptable welds BTW, GO

One looks like a straight drag while the other looks like a weave or whip and pause... but that could just be the camera angle.

Reminds me of when I managed the fab school years back and I posted pictures of two TIG welds done by the same guy, one of my instructors. I asked the forum members which weld was done by a pro, and which one by a student? Most people responded that they couldn't tell. But of course a couple of "experts" had to chime in and go into lengthy explanations of why one was better than the other. Which was pretty hilarious when I told them it was just a joke. LOL.

So I got a Hobart 210 MVP a few months ago and haven't had a chance to use it. This was my first weld ever. Just on some 16g scraps I had laying around. Still need to get a feel for the movement and cadence of everything but i thought this turned out pretty ok.
