    Default wire speed accuracy?

    I measured my PowerMTS 211Si's wire speed and compared it to what was displayed. Here are the results (shown as displayed/actual):

    100/90
    200/149
    300/210
    400/282

    Is this expected? Is there a way to adjust the display to match the actual feed rate? Note: I had the tension set as recommended, and even tried other settings to be sure. I kept the mig gun and cable straight during testing. I'm using 030 steel wire. Measurements were taken after 10 seconds of feeding, then multiplied by 6.

    Thanks,
    Kevin
