Yep that works for me when I'm welding with my Miller 180 mig welder with auto set even when I turn the amps down to 3 if I try and weld a continuous bead non stop it will burn through very easily 16 gage metal, so because I used Flux core wire and because of the windy conditions where I live, I have to weld short beads then brush the weld then start again with a short bead. It is best to make these beads 180 degrees from each other in-between of each bead till there is a short space between on all sides that you can finish off with the last short beads. This way will prevent the opposite side from pulling away and the gap between increasing, as compared to fully welding one side at a time which tends to make the opposite side gap get bigger. It also helps keep the two peaces stay straight once fully welded and prevent warping because of too much heat for too long. 😊😊😊

How is he going to lower the voltage on a constant current machine? Voltage is determined by arc length.

[@jedgurley]

I have to say that isn't easy. Especially with a stick welder. The spot welding is always a great trick with very thin gauge materials. Now if anybody notices he is to the left of the joint, he's using the weld pool to weld the gap or joint. This is because of the material is constant thickness and the weld pool will be cooler than the center weld pool. So it won't melt through.
