Very good stuff. Thank you guys. I know there is more to it then what I am describing but I am just curious.

Hello fellow welders. I am a community college student in southern California about to get my associates degree in welding and I am soon going to take my structural steel SMAW 3G 4G certification test. I have been taking as many classes as possible and I can say that I have become pretty skilled in ...

While stick welding, stopping to change electrodes doesn't give the welder much of a break so figure you're only going to be able to run maybe one or two passes at 125-130 amps (30-40% duty cycle) without stopping for awhile. Wow I didn't realize the Sync 210 had such a low duty cycle. I think I wi...

Tannet, Welcome to the forum. You should be able to weld up to the duty cycle of your machine. If the duty cycle is 20% @ 150 amps, it means you can weld 2 minutes out of every 10 at that amperage. Remember that every pass while welding is putting heat into the part so multi-pass welds don't necess...

Hello. I am a new memeber here and I have a question regarding the limits of my machine or any machine for that matter. So I have a Miller syncrowave 210 and online it says that if I am running on 220v then I can weld materials up to a 1/4". Now I understand that they are probably describing a ...
