Reply:Is that your horizontal ?Seems a bit cold for me. for a 1/8 7018 rod I like to be around 125 amps for horizontal and 110 amps for a for a vertical up groove root pass and  120 amps for a vertical up cap.You use that extra heat to your advantage and it makes your welds look much more smoother and appealing.JasonLincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tigThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52Miller Bobcat 250Torchmate CNC tableThermal Arc Hefty 2Ironworkers Local 720

Reply:we were running vertical today same settings none today are worthy of a picture lol
Reply:Screw what your instructor says. You won't know a thing until you experiment a little. What he tells you is a base to build on. 1/8 7018 on 90 is a little on the cold side for me. The hotter the better in most cases. However, I'll run a pipe all the way out at 85 amps with 6010 and 3/32 7018.
