My adventures with solid wire ss it that its very finicky with the settings. Sometimes its great, but then sometimes it was horrible. I've seen a guy do the most fantastic looking welds, and then another guy lay pus on the same machine. Mine was one an old pulse machine with auto wire setting so it was a biatch to set.

Yeah that about sums it up! The tip about the clamp should be followed though, weld was much smoother when clamped to the work as opposed to my usual clamping on the table; stainless seems to much more finicky about a good clean circuit than steel or ally!
