Quote: I agree with the others. Check the paperwork you got with the welder. There should be a guide or some info with it that will give you various wire speed, wire thickness and heat range settings for various gauges of metal. On my MIG there's a label on the inside of the door where you add a new wire spool that has all those settings. Those will get you in the ballpark. After that it's making fine adjustments of either the wire speed or heat range til the sound the weld creates sounds like frying bacon.
Agreed on the sound but you dont want to fry bacon while hanging a quarter! Also I have been using these guide lines provide by welder and usually speed the wire up just a bit.
Yup - hanging a quarter is different. You want it a tad hotter and less wire if you are doing quick bursts and small welds.
