316L rod setting opinions also.
Increasing the "dig" control reduces the open circuit voltage. It is kind of silly to have it backwards like this. rods like 6010 and 7018 really like high open circuit voltages (OCV), while 6011, 6013 and 7014 prefer slightly lower OCV. Stainless rods will also prefer a lower OCV. You can play with it to see what works best.
Hi Ernie, well according to the Miller pdf file manual for this welder YOU ARE DEAD WRONG!!!! I tried Millers recommendations, how could Miller possibly be wrong? They make arqueably the best welding equipment in the world!!! How dare you give advice contrary to BIG BLUE! Well quess what, turns out your advice on dig setting controls was correct and I solved my electrode sticking problem with 6011,6013,
316L, didnt try 7014 yet. Thanks for the help Ernie, your advice was dead on helpful. : )Hi Ernie, well according to the Miller pdf file manual for this welder YOU ARE DEAD WRONG!!!!
