mig and flux core tips and techniques, equipment, filler metal
Is the plug you plug the welder into good and tight? And is the voltage correct? I.e. Do you have a bad plug internally at the wall. Is there any thing else you took apart to transfer the welder to the other location that may have gotten reassembled one way when you were there and a different way when you got home?
I have more questions than answers

No all the same assembly. All the wiring in the wall is new and good so is the plug on the machine.Poland308 wrote:Is the plug you plug the welder into good and tight? And is the voltage correct?

Can you take a picture of the front of your weld machine? So we can see where your dials and or switches are set? Is this a 3 phase or single phase powered machine?

Back to the gas for a minute: you said the bottle has been changed, got it.
Have you made good welds with the gas from the current bottle?

To me it looks like bad gun angle. Point your gun at a 15 to 20 degree Pushing angle. When I started I found I needed even more of an angle then I thought. Try it.
Remember with aluminum it's push only. When you pull the gun it'll look like your picture.

- poor quality welds at home
- good quality welds away from home (at the trade school)
- never able to achieve good welds using gas from the bottle at home
Contaminated gas at home? Mis-labeled bottle contains other than pure argon?
