I was welding some 5mm wall box to 15mm plate today and it got me wondering about synergic mig settings. I've never used one and was wondering if they have a thickness setting for this do you just set them for somewhere between the two?
You use your judgment but usually on a setting with an extreme like 5-15 I’d go with around 8 and see how it goes. Too much and you’re likely to get undercut or other issues on the thinner section.

The manual for my Kemppi says to go for the middle, so set it to 10mm. But you'd need to adjust your technique to suit. Your aim would favour the 15 more than the 5mm.
I've just played around to find what's right and not gone dead in the middle.
