3Peaks,
Cut her down to 16.5 or so on your flow, and use a "u" shape movement on the puddle, then set you your feed and heat lower for your 0.75"x.065" birdcage tube joints.
We have a two small 220amp Lincolns for the birdcage/jigged portion of our chassis fabrication and have found that if you select 0.023 wire in a 0.025 tip it runs beautifully for speed and economy.
Practice, practice, practice, in other words build a dozen or so and you will have a joint that looks as good as a lot of TIG joints at 60% the cost.
