[QUOTE="atomicjoe23, post: 926617, member: 14072"] Most of the guys on here (inlcuding myself) use ER70S2 hard wire for the filler when it comes to MIG. . . . . .you are throwing around some slightly inaccurate terms when it comes to the type of welding that you are referring to becuase no one stitch or seam welds (technically speaking. . .if you are referring to the textbook definition of those terms and not a slang reference). . .what I believe you are attempting to refer to is the "stacked dime" technique vs. a non-oscillation type of weld which appears as a continuous weld bead. I will not touch the subject of puddled vs. continuous bead with a 10 ft. pole anymore. . .there are too many variables and it all depends on how you are achieving the puddled appearance. . .not to mention the fact that there are no bona fide, unbiased test performed to back any claim up. . .we all have our own personal opinions and preferences. . .we all feel that we are producing quality welds. . .so I will let someone else beat this dead horse if they see fit, I would feel comfortable discussing this with you further via PM if you want my view on the subject, but I feel there are already too many threads on this forum dealing with this subject to discuss it in the public domain without turning this into another arguing session that no one is going to win.
