Hi Mike!
Now let me get this straight - did you mean set the machine's output voltage at twenty-six volts for .035 dia wire? Correct me if I'm wrong here but is'nt that spray transfer or is it because you are using only 100 amps that you need to increase the output voltage in order to compensate with this machine and are you sure that 100 amps are enough??? BTW, this system you mentioned - the "high dollar" is a 24 volt electronically regulated one with how much maximum output voltage and at what duty cycle???
What IPM's would you set your wire feed speed to??? what brand of gasless FCAW wire are you using??? what's the tip to work distance for the wire??? Like Tim, I'm not familiar with this system so these questions are asked in earnest!
