You should like it.

The arc force control is adjustable from -10 to +10

This adjustment senses voltage and when the electrode length is short (low voltage) the machine will deliver a little extra current (a form of slope control)

for 5p open roots a higher arc force setting will keep the electrode from sticking.

for low-hy a lower arc force setting will reduce spatter.
