Wire speed tracking.

[hankj]

Andy answered a question about this subject in another thread the other day. I just learned first-hand how well it works. Blew a large hole (picked up a rock) in the mulcher cover for my mower deck. Plastic junk. Had some 22ga. sheet in the Gadget Garage. Door chart says "voltage 2/wire speed 30" for 20ga. I normally run the wire speed at 35 for 3/16 - I figured the wire would fly. Set it up; queezed the trigger - BINGO! Wire crawled out of the gun! Welded new cover out of STEEL; back to mowing in 30 minutes!

Great feature, this wire speed tracking!!

Be well.

hankj,

Glad you liked it. It was a neat innovation we have used for quite a few years on our smaller units.

Have fun...watch those rocks!

do you start out with the wire speed setting 50 on the dial then just adjust from there? thnx guys

mecharm1,

That's one way to do it. You will find that most of your wire adjustment will be from 30% to 60% so starting at 50 is a good average. I think you will find that you will have to slow it down for most thinner materials and for heavy stuff, go up a tad.
