How to burn E6010 5P 1/8" electrodes on a miller thunderbolt xl225/150 ac/dc?

#1
Could use some advice from some experienced arc welders.
I know since Miller lowered the OCV TO 80 is the reason whip and pause does not work like it did with the older machines.
If you drag, it is supposed to work.
Any opinions and advice on technique?
Thanks,
Jon

Run DC+ around 85-90 amps and youll be fine. We use Lincoln + on every machine imaginable and I still slightly whip and pause. Stay under 1 electrode diameter on your wipping motion and it'll freeze fine. Walt
