Just for fun, get a 2-lb spool of .035 wire and try that on some thicker stuff and see where the setting goes.

I'll give it a try, but how would this be different from turning up the wire feed speed?

It was an old guy who was splaining it to me---before i was an old guy.
He said think of the wire as carrying capacity---kinda like what I keep bitchin about the shit 16g wires in the wall..the bigger wire carries more juice in and of itself. He's the one that suggested "try a 2-lb spool".

So in effect what I was able to do was turn juice and feed down (the wire itself deposits more per unit of time so the feed comes down, it carries more juice so the current comes down."

Maybe it aint right, but it worked right.

solid advice here!

i will definatley be checking out the wiring in the garage prior to welding. i think it should be good. previous owner of the house was a welder and he is the one that had the garage wired up.

great tips on how to get a 110 to do what is needed.
