welder settings

what should i set the amperage and voltage at to reduce spatter when welding

-------------------------------------------------

start with the settings recommended by the manufacturer and if you are getting spatter, increase wire speed.

if it gets worse, you probably had too much to begin with.

gun angle also has an effect

pulling the puddle usually spatters less

have you seen the miller weld setting calculator?
