If someone could please give me some rough voltage and amp settings for a standard 2g and 3g structural weld test I would be eternally greatfull!
Thank you

for .072 dia. wire about 20.7 to 31 volts  and 130-135 ipm, that is for a groove weld with a backing, if you run your voltage any lower you risk getting poor penetration on your root.
you can do an open root around 18-19 volts with a little practice

i meant 20.7 to 21 volts,  and once you get a feel for this wire you can crank it up and deposit some serious metal
