Hey all,
So recently I've been playing around with our hole popper in the shop getting some experience with it. I've just been mainly removing taps and stuck drill bits from holes and occasionally putting in new start holes if I don't like how a block is setup for wire. Long story short whenever I am hole popping a tap or drill bit out of a hole I am getting really bad pitting around the hole. This also only tends to happen when I am running a larger electrode.(4.7MM) I am going by our manual for the settings and I've attempted lowering settings to reduce the power but I haven't had much luck getting rid of the pitting. I don't know much about hole popping in general so maybe this is just normal but I'd like to find a way around it if possible.
Thanks as always,
