Question: 1 / 400

The best amperage setting for cutting with a stick welder is _____ higher than for welding.

10%

The best amperage setting for cutting with a stick welder is typically around 10% higher than the setting used for welding. When cutting with a stick welder, a higher amperage setting is required to generate enough heat to melt through the material efficiently. By increasing the amperage by about 10% from the welding setting, you ensure that you have enough power to achieve clean and precise cuts.

Option B, C, and D are incorrect because a 25%, 50%, or 75% increase in amperage would be excessive and could lead to overheating, splattering, or difficulties in controlling the cut, thereby affecting the quality of the cut and potentially damaging the material being worked on.
