If you're having trouble with wire speed, move to the next thinner wire.

Or, learn to treat your wire feed like a stick... let it out a little further, and puddle up the excess, then let out more... pulse and glide your welder? LOL.

If your welder will support a thinner wire than you're using, though, and the low speed still seems too fast, you can either try the next thinner wire, or 1 step higher in amps. The chart isn't all-knowing, but it's always close.
