          Wandering arc is from a bad ground. Check clamp for corrosion, And use 3/32-inch tungsten. my arc stabilized after that. Clean with alcohol, And set 25 CFH argon.

            Use a sharper tungsten grind, It gives better control.

              Check AC balance, my Lincoln welds smooth at 70%.

                Use clean steel, my welds got better after cleaning to stop arc drift.
