The "door chart" on my 8vs only lists values for flux core and dual shield at over .045 wires, in Trimark triple7 wire, and Fabshield@ 21B. (???)... pretty useless for me, running it in cc off my miller aead, or off the hobart beta mig I got cheap to use as a power source.
Guess I'm just so used to stick, where 130 amps is 130 amps, on whatever stick box I use.
Sure, I can twidle knobs to make it run, but I would kinda like to have a better idea where the actual voltage/wfs/amps are at. A little checking with a DC clamp meter, volt meter and tape measure has given me more info than the door charts and guessing has.
Meters on the 8vs woulda been nice, but I didnt pass at the price I got it for.
Checking voltage running it in cc on the legend has helped me dial it in for spray transfer a lot, lovin it.
And adding the hobart beta mig (that I only use as a CV power source) gives me up to about 20 volts 150 amps cv with full duty cycle for short circuit, with the portability of the 8vs, works nice for my shop.
