What happens here

Refer to the ArcCaptain setup guide, often found on the side of the machine, to find recommended settings based on material type, wire type, drive roller, polarity, gas type, gas flow rate, wire diameter, and material thickness. The presenter points out that for 8 gauge material with .035 inch wire and an Argon/CO2 mix, the guide suggests 21.3V and 452 inches per minute (IPM). However, the presenter expresses skepticism about these settings, feeling they might be too high.

Goal: Consult the manufacturer's guide for welding parameters for specific material thickness

your volts automatically for you. Wire type running 70S6 V-groove DC positive argon CO2 mixture 17 to 25 CFH on our regulator. We're running 035 wire. Now, this is where I think stuff gets a little weird. then I don't really like to follow it. But if we just go 8 gauge material thickness 8 gauge, it's telling us to run at 21.3 volts, 452 in per minute. That seems high to me. So you guys can go off of this chart and just set it up
