I'm having a brain fart, basically, when it comes to amp settings. I know the golden rule per Ernie of 1 amp per .001" of thickness for Al, for example - but is that what you set the dial to, or what you weld at? I like to weld using the foot control to control the heat, should I have it all the way down for normal welding - ie maximum het up to the dial setting, or should I expect to weld with the foot control at say 75% when the dial is set at 1 amp per thou?
