   Hello all   
   Thanks for support and encouragement over the decades.   
   Latest weld - first "heavy" thickness in this job.   
   Is 10mm leg-length ("z10").  On 10mm thickness steel plate.   
   Is a critical weld.

   Best estimate - about 270A, 28.5V   
   I say that because 270A spray gives a 6mm leg-length fillet weld.   
   (lowest spray at about 240A gives about 5.5mm leg-length fillet weld ??)   
   As I explain - not sure if what machine reports is accurate.   
      
   The shielding gas, Ar-12.5%CO2-2%O2, is and does everything I want it   
   to.  Including "clean" spray transfer welding condition.
