The hardest part about mig welding is seeing the weld as you make it ,seems like the lense in the helmet is always to dark
I started having issues with the stitch welds.
If you keep the nozzle cleaned out,it will let a long time-the one on my welders is a few years old lol-the tips are an as needed item as wellAnother welding question: how often should I change out the nozzle and tip?
Also, @horse sence I’ve seen you use an air punch like the one I have from Harbor Freight. Mine punches 3/16” holes. Is that a good size for plug welds on the floor pan? I’ve used it already, but the holes it punches seem small. Is it possible to get larger dies for tips like this one?

Thanks for the tips, no pun intended.I would go back and drill the holes to 1/4 ,i do like that punch ,already wore mine out .
My welder still has the original cone but i have used a couple of tips because of burn back ,you will have this happen sometime . It is usually when the wire binds in the welder or you have a twist in the cable . About all you can do is remove the tip ,cut the wire and toss the tip and replace
You will have to knock it around a bit ,a few screws will pull it in placeFloor pan is sitting in the car at the moment so I can trace out where I'll need to drill. There are some fitment issues, all on the passenger side. This is the off-roading damage side.
@horse sence Do you have a recommendation? Do I have larger issues to address, or should I just do what I need to make it fit?
