WHAT AMPS FOR 1/8 INCH? SOLVED.
Pick the process, the metal and the thickness. Stinger answers with real machine settings: amperage, voltage, wire feed speed, gas and polarity, computed from the manufacturers' published charts instead of forum guesses.
FREE FOREVER, NO COUNTER
- MIG settings for mild steel, stainless and aluminum: amps, volts, wire feed speed, gas flow and transfer mode for every common wire size
- Stick amperage for every rod in the catalog: 6010, 6011, 6013, 7014, 7018, 7024, stainless and cast iron nickel, with polarity, positions and the rod's personality
- Sheet metal gauge to decimal to millimeters
- Tungsten colour codes and current capacity
- A defects guide: porosity, undercut, spatter, cracking, with causes and fixes
STINGER PRO, ONE PAYMENT
- TIG settings for steel, stainless and aluminum: amps, tungsten, cup, gas flow, filler size, and AC balance and frequency for aluminum
- Flux core parameters for the self-shielded wires, straight from the wire makers' procedure tables
- Heat input in kJ/in and kJ/mm, the number a WPS asks for
- Preheat guidance from the carbon equivalent, with steel grade presets
- Consumables math: filler weight per fillet, rods per pound, minutes left in the gas bottle
- Weld symbols, joint fit-up, shielding gas guide and a which-rod-for-which-job selector
- Save your machines and the dialed-in settings that actually worked
BUILT FOR THE SHOP FLOOR
- Works completely offline, in the yard, under the truck, behind the barn
- Imperial and metric everywhere: fractions, gauges and millimeters side by side
- Every table names its source. Every result is a starting point, and the app says so
- No account, no ads, no tracking, no subscription. Your setups never leave your iPhone
Stinger computes starting points from published manufacturer data. It is not a welding procedure specification and does not replace the filler maker's datasheet or your WPS.
