I agree it's not because it's an inverter. My TA 186 and all the millers at work run 6010 just fine. But the the 210mp is geared more towards Mig. That's what I bought it for primarily. It did run the 6010 and 6011 it just wasn't very forgiving about arc length. ill have to second the inverter thin...

Has anyone had any luck welding Lincoln Excalibur on AC? I know the can states that they can weld AC or DC but, I can't get them to run on AC at all. They keep sticking. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks lincoln dose make a AC spacific rod that can be had at alot of farm supply sto...

i just got myself a 47 Crosley engine that i am hopping to do something with and i kinda need some info on the thing so i can go about getting it going.. i kinda want to if i can find the right parts pull of fabing up a tractor for it to go into.. always wanted to do that!

That would be fun to make but there would be no time to get anything else done. I saw a video of a guy who built his own Ferrari in his basement from parts he made at work, something like 15 years and then had to knock the basement wall out to get it outside. On youtube somewhere. I think if a pers...

anyone ever thoght about doing something like this? think it might be a neat prodject.. would love to make one using Briggs parts ie piston's rods.

Anyone have any luck running 6011 on this machine? I see Jody doing it on the videos but mine will light up and catch fire and burn out after 5-7 seconds. It will run a 6013 well, and a 7018 pretty good. I'm not a great stick welder so any help is much appreciated. Thanks what rod DIA and amps are ...

Yeah, It sounds like 180 amps would be about the right output for what you're talking about, and 110v units just don't do that. This one is 180 amps, dual-voltage, priced close to your target, has some nice features, like burn-back adjustment and a cast aluminum wire drive. It's from the Jasic/Razo...

I would guess those numbers are also pretty close for the Miller 150 STL that I use a lot. I know if I'm sticking 7018 3/32 at 80 amps I start tripping 20 amp breakers on 120v. Tig is a little better but around 110 amps it will trip a 20 amp breaker as well. Not right away but after a few minutes o...

Thanks for chiming in! Does the Handler 130 and Power I both have all of the options including the 120v/240v capabilities AND DC output? i think both are 120V only machines but they both are DC.. as AC on wire feed leaves a verry shitty weld.. especially with flux core.. to get into dual voltage yo...

So today i decited to once and for all figure out what my AHP160ST draws for power on 120V input.. i wanted to know this to know what kinda circut braker can handel its full power and to also know if the generator im looking at can handle its full power on 110V or more on 220V this was all done from...

Hey Gang, First time poster here. Just really for some advice on a good model through a reputable brand of welder. Based off of my research I'm looking for these options. -120v but 240v switchable -DC output -Dual MIG (Gas and Flux Core) -Good duty cycle (Not max as I'll only be doing shorter beads...

to the OP if you want to know how good you can weld.. get some bend tests done!

Ryanjames- used bobcat 225 machines can be had from $900-$1500. Mine was $1500 and only has a few hundred hours on it. Older model so has 8000 watts instead of 10000. Decent welding arc, generator output is good - only 600 lbs. what my end game is something lighter then what i got now at 500lbs i c...

Just get one of these. Done. :D http://image.prntscr.com/image/d31aa6d9cbad4761982c8f2c1f908704.png if i had that kinda cash.. i would just get one of these and be done https://www.millerwelds.com/equipment/welders/engine-driven/bobcat-225-engine-driven-welder-m90334 i know its not as much power ou...

Wow, a lot to answer. First of all, 120, 110 confusion. The utility provides 120 volts. Depending on load, this may drop to 110 volts at the end of the extension cord. Same with 220, 230 and 240 for single or split phase. Now for three phase, 208 volt IS different as it is two 120 volt legs 120° ou...

if you have the set up already and it has a good regulator.. i personly have gotten away with 10-12 CFH inside. as far as filling it up being as you have a bottle (provided they will fill it for you) u should be able to get prices from a local welding suppler.. keep in mind they may not refill the t...

On a decent build 120 / 240 generator the ends of both winding sets will go to change over switch which connects them in series or parallel so in 120 volt setting you will still get full output - but I have seen some cheap crap that just tagged one side of the 120 to a socket. Yep, that would be my...

20161204_125106.jpg I was given this same machine, I wasn't sure if it was a good machine. I'm new to welding and learning with it. Hoping to get some pics up soon of my progress to get some opinions etc.. Did you only use flux core while using this machine? Have you ever use gas with regular wire ...

so i have seen alot of the threads on running a welder on Generator and i understand the whole need X amount of watts to get X amout out of the welder and what not.. and you need to keep it in a frequency range but here is one for you guys.. now i know that transformer Machines are Dumb ie they real...

HARBOR FRIGHT, there I said it. I learned on a 90amp HF arc box. From there I moved to the Flux wire unit. It works well for building BBQs, trailers, gates, handrails, window bars and fabbing up other smaller item under 1/4 thick. I use their cheap 4.5" grinder and some good lincoln wire. For ...

Interesting topic. SavePhace sells hoods with custom paint by professional artists. I'd like to hear the safety man's take on these, since it's both "paint" and "OEM". Acrylic enamel, urethane, and epoxy paints that can be made to stick to a plastic hood have similar flash point...

Hey guys, I know this has been discussed on the site a little here and there, and if this thread needs to be merged I understand, but I had some specific questions for ya'll. I am finishing up with my continuing education program at the community college pretty soon and I've been trying to make up ...

Good morning fellow welders, This post will being with a scripture from the Good book "But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Luck 14:28 As a newbie in the welding...

Pretty nice machine there! cant argue with 100% duty cycle at 180A and 60% at 240A

That was Lincoln Excalibur that's all the school supplies The machine is a Miller sycrowave 250. Thanks for the comments fellas!! there about the best you can get i would also get some Lincoln 7018AC or hobart ones to play with too.. buy avoid the Lincoln Millennium ARC E7018.. not good rods and ta...
