can someone put a debate to bed for me, is it correct to say that if someone asks you turn their amps up you would increase their wire feed ??
usually on most machines the wire speed automatically increases in proportion with the increased power setting

In Mig welding, Wirefeed speed is the same as Amps/Current.
You can't turn the amps up without increasing the wirespeed, the same as you cant decrease the wirefeed speed and not alter the amps/current.
As I said 6 posts in.
Having amp control does what for you plz Malcolm? I normally leave the wire feed speed alone and use the volt switches to control my welder.I agree with everyone here. Should imagine the opening poster has already run away so there's no harm in carrying on.
I had this confusion a while ago. Turn the wire speed either up or down and the MIG didn't work quite so well. I couldn't understand the theory. That was a reasonably cheap welder. They don't have this control.
I upgraded and started to see the theory. The wire speed does give a lot of control on amps. But there are still limits. Minimum volts and max wire speed results in the wire bouncing off the work. Lots of volts and you need a certain wire speed to prevent burn back. But in the middle the adjustment is very useful. And it does control amps as the other knob sets the volts.
That's DIP transfer (less than 180 amps). I can imagine spray transfer or the fancy synergic speed me up migs might allow an even wider control using wire speed?
