Mig amp chart

[yetta]

Is there a Mig amp chart, the same format as the Tig amp chart ? as I printed this off and found it so useful in my workshop for quick reference as a beginner.

Search and you shall find.

MIG Settings Calculator

Estimates the range of mild steel thicknesses you can weld with each setting on your MIG welder.

I think I'm right in saying that some MIG welders might refer to amps rather than the more specific voltage and wire feed speed..? The MIG settings calculator linked to above is, I think, more for machines with preset steps.

Using the Miller Welding Calculator at https://www.millerwelds.com/resources/weld-setting-calculators I came up with this, using Excel to convert its inches per minute to metres per minute - may be useful to some:

But again if your machine refers to amperes this isn't much help! What machine do you have @yetta ?

Clarke weld MIG 100E mk2 its over 30 years old and still works well for my DIY car restoration work. I did find the Mig setting calculator chart but my instruction book doesn`t give the Min output data. It also gives settings but not for s/steel, just wanted easy chart like the Tig. Thanks

The Google says the Clarke MIG 100E does 27-100 amps if it helps

All of the older, small Clarke variants are basically using one transformer, gas or gasless - e.g. 85 EN/ Pro90 /105 / 100E.
They weld up to 3 mm steel. 25 Amps upwards.
Automotive use on thin metal is their well established forte. You don't need numbers, you have to play around -as in, 'dial in' for your stuff.
