Norm, It's sounds like you've used a similar power supply. I'm going to try your method, today, just to see what happens.

My power supply is very finicky. Turn the current of voltage knob, just slightly and the meters fluctuate all over the place and then settle. Then you have to guess how far to move the knob to make an adjustment and then wait for the meters to settle again. There seems to be no consistent correlation between the knobs and the meters.

DP, Thanks for the info! 1 to 4 amps is what I've used in most of the plating I've done. I roughly estimated the square area to be plated and used the calculator at Caswell to set the current. Came out to .9 amps for smaller parts and 3.6 when I did my brake calibers.

With my crazy power supply, when I move the 'current' knob, the voltage also changes. Based on Norm's experience, I'm going to try setting one control at maximum or minimum and only adjust using the other knob. If that doesn't work, I may just chuck it.
