What you get (on one screen)
Suggested Voltage range
Suggested Wire Feed Speed (WFS) range
Estimated amps range
Gas flow starting range
Stick-out + technique recommendation
Quick fixes for common problems (cold bead, undercut, spatter, porosity)
How to use it
Select material and thickness.
Choose wire type and wire diameter.
Select shielding gas and welding position.
Read the recommended ranges and run a short test bead.
Fine-tune in small steps until the bead profile and fusion are correct.
Best practice Always confirm on a scrap piece that matches your job material. Your machine, torch angle, travel speed, and joint fit-up will shift results.
