How to Set Amperage for Stick Welding

A methodical introduction to setting amperage during shielded metal arc welding. Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA), stick welding or rod welding works best when the amperage is set correctly. The included stick welding amperage chart provides a good starting point. From there, the amp setting can be fine tuned experimentally. ***Affordable self-paced welding courses taught by me*** https://courses.timwelds.com Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/timwelds?sub_... ***More Stick Welding Videos*** Full Stick Welding Tutorial for Beginners:    • Stick Welding Basics for Beginners: How to...   How to Strike an Arc:    • How to Strike an Arc: Stick Welding Basics...   Stick Welding Electrodes Explained:    • Stick Welding Electrodes Explained: Stick ...   How to Stick Weld Thin Tubing:    • Stick Weld Thin Square Tubing   Testing the (Almost) Cheapest Welder on Amazon:    • Reviewing the (Almost) Cheapest Welder on ...   Gear you might want (These are affiliate links that provide a small commission to support the making of these videos.): DekoPro Inexpensive Stick Welder: https://amzn.to/30CtWaC My Welding Helmet: https://amzn.to/32KBIC6 Less Expensive Welding Helmet (I have this one too.
