Hi Y'all,
So I bought an ESAB Rebel 215ic a month or so ago and I figured today would be a good day to get it up and running.
Little did I know I'd be making bubbly spot welds all afternoon trying to dial everything in. I'm using the proper .30 wire with proper tip and 75/25 Ar/CO2 shielding gas and I still can't figure out the issue! I've tried the voltage much too low and too high to see about anything changing and I'm still getting bubbly welds like in the photos. I've cleaning the material and tried to do everything I can think of to solve this.
Is there just something simple and stupid that I'm missing or did I get a lemon and have to go talk to the mfg???
Please let me know any thoughts so I can have a productive weekend welding!!
