Correct Answer: 40° - 50°
Backhand Welding Illustration: Torch and Rod Angles are 45° as viewed by the operator a perpendicular (90°) to the work surface as viewed from the end of the workpiece. Increased speeds and better control of the puddle are possible with backhand technique when metal $$\frac{1}{8}$$ in.
