Re: SA200 heat question? I run 7018 Excalibur at around 125. On my Redface SA I usually am in 3rd gear around 50. If I want a drier puddle I go to 4th and 10-20. The fine adjustment controls volts ( heat) in the puddle. For wetter puddle turn volts up, drier puddle turn it down and selecting a higher gear (coarse adjust). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't forget your 125 amps can be obtained on two different heat settings combined with the appropriate fine currant adjustment. Each will give you different arc characteristics.

Duane how do you go about cleaning the Voltage rheostat winding surface. Thank you John Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
Re: SA200 heat question? *DC I mean
Re: SA200 heat question? Everything is pretty clean, and my buzz box has ex. Thanks guys I will just go on how it feels

Re: SA200 heat question? The sa will have a much smoother and softer arc than your buzz box. Don't pay too much attention to numbers. If you need more heat, turn it up a little.
