        i am so frustrated cause my Miller Millermatic 211 arc burns hot at 24 volts, And it is burning through steel. Any fix?

          Arc is too hot cause voltage is high. Drop to 20 volts, my welds stopped burning through. Use 0.035-inch wire, Check 20 CFH gas, And clean with alcohol. Try short bursts.

            Check wire speed, my Millermatic welds smooth at 250 IPM. Adjust it for stability.

              Use TIG welding, It is got less heat input.

                Use 0.030-inch wire for thin steel, my welds stopped burning through after cleaning surface.
