    I don't believe the setting rule of thumbs for a moment. Any monkey with a tig torch in his hand can weld 1/8" steel with about 70 amps or less. 125 amps is cooking it.

    Do you set the max on the machine for 125 and then use the pedal to control it?
    Or do you leave the machine at max, 250, and just use the pedal?

    Doesn't lowering the max to 125 give you better resolution on the pedal as opposed to leaving it at max?
