To weld 3mm(approx. 1/8") with a 90 amp machine will depend on the Voltage Output of your machine. A good setting would be around 18v and 210ipm wire speed. That wire speed using .030 wire calls for about 80amps, so you will be operating close to it's max output. Measure your wire feed to get close to the feed rate and then make some final adjustments. Hope this helps.
ok forgot i had no wire left lol
i had 6 metres coiled up on the wall so i did a wire feed speed test
on highest feed it is 530" per minute 53 " over 6 seconds
on highest output it is 18.5v @ 90 amps
is this okay you think ?
