Hello all, Noob here, so be kind. I did a search, and did not come up with what I was after. I use a lincoln 175 for art/light structure, and I am experimenting with different materials/wires.
I am looking to convert the dial settings on the machine to those of "normal" specs usually used in materials documentation. ie voltage and wire speed.
I am trying in vain to guess at the correct settings for things such as 7100 ultra (dual-shield) and others.
Set your wire speed to a number on the dial and let the wire run out for a number of seconds. Measure the wire and convert to ipm. You can check the voltage with a voltmeter inside the machine where the gun hose gets it's power.
