Wire sticking to tip on miller 350p

[koolken]

Hi guys. Im welding up some re bar forms with a Miller 350p and I have problems with the wire sticking to my tip. The wire is not welded onto the tip just after 10 minutes of welding a small ball forms just on the side of the hole where wire comes through on the tip enough to cause the wire to start jamming.. jumping and the arc to act weird. Is it my arc length or my wire speed thats the problem? I use anti splater but it must be my settings. Iv made sure my work piece is ground well.

I believe its the rebar. Rebar is not the best steel to weld with a mig. The metal spatters and spits alot and that is what is sticking to your tip. I would clean the weld joints the best you can and live with it or stick weld them.

What's all the stats on your weld? Wire? Gas? Material? Stick out?settings?

Quick tip: either you are too close with the gun and or your wire speed is too slow.

You can also replace the tip.
