Thanks Antorcha, Otto Nobedder for the information!

I weld with the current setting as high as possible to make a penetration weld without burning a hole through.

Thanks for all the information.

I have been welding fine on my settings, so I leave them as they are.

The best weld we find is having the voltage setting on 4, wire speed setting on 5 and current on 5. This is for a CEA Maxi 401 Mig welding machine.

Thanks for the Information Guys! I well using a CEA Maxi 401 Mig welding machine When I am mig welding 4.5mm thick tube I have the voltage setting on the machine on setting 4 and the current setting on the machine on 3. When I am welding 10mm plate, I have the voltage setting on the machine on 4 and...

Hi All

Is it better when MIG welding to have the voltage setting higher than the current setting or is it better to have the current setting higher than the voltage setting?

Best regards James

Hi Heavy Hitter,

Sorry for the late reply! Thank you very much for the information!

Best regards, James

Nick, Thanks for the information!

Hi All When you weld, the voltage of your welding machine stays constant while you are welding? In welding the voltage stays the same, you change the current to weld thicker or thinner metal? If you want to increase the width of your welding arc you set your voltage on your welding machine to a high...

Thanks Mick for the information! We are always grinding the welds.

Best regards James

Thanks Rick H and Heavy Hitter! For example if I am welding two 10 mm flat bars together, I will grind the edges of the two flat bars I am going to weld together to 45 degree angles.I will grind the flat bars around the area I am going to weld them ,to clean the flat bars so my weld doesn't have gap...

Hi All

I Mig weld mild steel tubes, flat bars and I beams. Whatever I weld I always put the current high enough to make a penetration weld. Is this always the best thing to do?

Best regards

James
