Specs are wrongAnyone know why my lowest amp setting says 30 but the specifications says 20 ???
Its all pretty academic as your really adjusting volts, when you turn the knob….the amps you get are a function of how much metal your melting driven by volts and wire speed. Also how much stick out you have affects it too.Anyone know why my lowest amp setting says 30 but the specifications says 20 ???

I just bought the 160A version of your welder which says it should do 30-160A for MIG, yet my display shows 58 when set to minimum. I'm new to welding but feel this may prove useless for car body panels.Anyone know why my lowest amp setting says 30 but the specifications says 20 ???
You mean the 160a draper mig ? Generally if you buy the higher amp mig they start on a lower amp setting making it easier for thin metal ! I set mine around 35 to 40 amps which is ok for car body panels ! The 200 amps I probably would never use as that’s for thick metal 8mm 10mmI just bought the 160A version of your welder which says it should do 30-160A for MIG, yet my display shows 58 when set to minimum.

Yes the 160A Draper MIG Inverter multi-welder (70047). I went for it because it was specced to go as low as 30A which, as you've said, I believe should be suitable for car body panels. Maybe I'm doing something wrong (I've never welded before), I've put a post in the new to welding section, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction if it's not the machine at fault.You mean the 160a draper mig ?

The machine should b fine ! You’re best off practising with it and learn how to use it before attempting car body work that’s what I’ve done !
