Welding Amperage Calculator
Settings are starting points from standard amperage charts — always dial in on scrap first and check your machine and consumable manufacturer charts. Amperage assumes single-pass butt joints on clean material; dirty, painted, or galvanized steel changes everything (and galvanized fumes are toxic — grind the coating off).
Our blog covers everything from choosing your first welder to mastering overhead joints. No gatekeeping — just the knowledge you need to lay better beads.
