This weekend I tried recessing the electrode into the cup by around 20 thou and then tried to tack some 1/16" 6061. I put the machine to 70 amps and gave the pedal a quick stomp. All I managed to do was to burn away a bit of metal. There was no fusion. What amperage is used in this operation relative to metal thickness? Just a quick stomp? Bring it up slow? Any hints? I can see how this would save a lot of time once you get it dialed in.
