Guys I'm trying to weld a non-magnetic stainless, actually it is a keg that I am making a grill out of. I made some hinges from stainless and I am trying to weld them on. The hinges are made of the same bar stock I welded before, which last year the same set up worked great on. I have also tried to weld on just some plain stainless stock (not the keg) and it won't weld properly.

Everything is very clean, I hit it with the grinder to get to clean, fresh metal. I ground a spot to hook the ground on the welder up to as well. It is definately a welder issue and not a work piece issue. I'll look into it more tomorrow.

The cable from the machine to the cord for the gun is connected and in good condition, but I did have to switch tips for the .030" wire. Maybe this is where the issue is? I'll clean everything tomorrow to see if that makes a difference.
