Hi guys i am struggling cause my Lincoln PowerMIG 260 burns through thin steel, Using 0.035-inch wire at 24V, and it burns through easy. any settings to fix this?

[Michael Watson]

Thin steel needs lower voltage, Set PowerMIG 260 to 18V, Use 0.030-inch wire for control, My Lincoln burned through too, Clean with alcohol, set wire speed to 220 ipm, and use 20 CFH argon.

Try pulse mode for thin steel, it helps.

[Robert Ashley]

burn-through means high heat, Lower to 16V, My Lincoln welds thin steel now.

[Sara Jackson]

Use 0.025-inch wire, it is less heat for thin metal.

Check the ground clamp, loose ones causes burn-through.
