Can you please tell me what mean the guy in that 7018 text from Lincoln where he state :Otto Nobedder wrote:A "stringer" lets you oscillate the thickness of the rod. For a 1/8" rod you can "weave" 1/8" and still call it a stringer.
Steve
"When welding the second pass, use a weaving motion or stringer technique. If you opt to weave, think of the number 8 sideways and move from left to right. Also, pay close attention to the bead width when using the weaving technique. Try to keep it at ¾" or smaller for the maximum width overall after multiple passes. For the stringer motion, create the letter “I” and follow in a straight motion "
(That mean a stringer then another next to it ? It is not a "ladder" )
As I don't know the direction of the weld, I thought that for the 8 this is a normal 8 may be a little pinched that goes from left to right recovering itself (?)
Thanks if you have a little time for that. I do not get well the restart explanations, too (I do not understand what is particular in his description of restarts)
