All this time, I've been thinking my disability was my welding problem,
but,...

According to http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/calculator.htm  my mig welder ought
to be unraveling mig wire at 2.2 meters/minute. This figure is taking into
account my setup and material to be welded.

However, my mig welder has wire speeds on a dial graduation that ranges from
'0-8'.
Somewhat weird, but my welder dispenses wire even when this dial is set to
'0', and it does so at 62 ft/minute (or 19.5 meters/minute).  WHAT??

IT CALLS FOR A WIRE SPEED OF 2.2 METERS/MIN AND MY WELDER HAS A 19.5
METERS/MIN?  SOMEBODY TELL ME I'M WRONG!  (OR IS THE CHART WRONG?)

Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
