I know the power settings increase the current but im a little confused about the wire speed settings.
If i were to slow the wire speed down my head is telling me this should make the weld hotter & get a better weld (not as much build up). But i also know this mustn't be correct as the wire speed is to be increased for thicker metals.
My welds are strong but messy (well i did only start 2 days ago). When im welding on a flat surface all is ok but my welds run when welding vertically & i have too much weld material build up. The metal had pleanty of heat in it as it was glowing red.
So, i THINK im asking, Does an increase in wire speed give a better weld when the metal thickness goes up?, if so whats the explaination why it does?
Sorry for being dumbass, im new!
Welds on flat (power setting # 3 out of 4).........i turned it up to max & purpously blew a couple of holes to see what it felt like
