Question: 1 / 400

What amperage setting should be used for cutting with a stick welder compared to welding?

25% higher

When cutting with a stick welder compared to welding, a higher amperage setting is required. This is because cutting typically requires more heat and power than welding. By using an amperage setting that is 25% higher for cutting compared to welding, it ensures that there is enough heat and power to effectively melt through the metal during the cutting process.

Options B, C, and D suggest even higher increases in amperage settings (50%, 75%, 100% higher), which would likely be excessive and could result in damaging the material being cut or the equipment itself. Therefore, option A, which suggests a 25% higher amperage setting, is the most appropriate choice for cutting with a stick welder compared to welding.
