On a tap machine you will only have a choice on four to six voltage settings only depending on the machine. On a continues machine, the voltage is anything from the lowest voltage output the machine delivers to the highest it will deliver. In other words, think of it like a volume control on a TV, only it is controlling the voltage output without 4 to 6 individual steps.....
