Reply:One other note.  I have been doing this type of weld without filler mateirals with some success but wanted to try and improve my settings to get even better results.
Reply:Wow! I thought I had to weld thin stuff! Thinnest I've done was 0.010. And that was to more 0.010.
Reply:Cant say I've ever seen a reference for anything that thin.  But I do have experience welding thin metal but not thin stainless.  If your machine has pulse use it if you're not already.  Almost everything I do is fused.  Turn your machine high enough to get a puddle formed on your thick material then whip your puddle to the edge of your thin material till it fuses.  Depending on what the finished product is I would only use filler for catching any holes.
