I've not usually had "dig" available, including the pictured weld. I usually set it for 20% when I do.

do you just not believe in arc force? :?: thanks for your time, John
Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

The short answer is, I didn't have it, so learned to do without it.

"Dig" isn't about arc-force, anyway. It senses when you get too close and may "stick", and ups the current to prevent it. I also don't need a car that parallel-parks itself. :lol:

So if you had "dig" all the time , would you ever have a need/use for it? Thanks John :D

Yeah, I'll use dig when I have it. I'm not as steady as I once was, and a li'l defense against putting the "stick" in stick welding is welcome.

It's just another case of "I learned without it, so I can make do without it." Having it is an advantage, unless it becomes a crutch for poor technique.
