It's a common question, no worries. You decide how much amperage you want to use, then pick the rod size that runs good in that range. Also, rule of thumb: Don't use a rod thicker than the material to be welded. It normally will require too many amps to run correctly and you'll blow a hole in the w...

I just got a used stick welder, and I am confused on how to chose which rod diameter to use. My little MIG welder has a chart on it to give you a baseline for settings based on metal thickness. But all I have seen so far for stick welders is this rod use this amperage range. But how do I know what a...
