Stick Welding Tips, Certification tests, machines, projects
From what I can see it appears to be just a flat piece on top. I would use the cutting disk and cut the whole piece out. Precut a matching replacement piece beveled as required to fit. With the existing piece gone you have more room to get in and clean as much as possible and have less chance of junk boiling up thru the weld.
This is exactly what I should have done. Your right. What amperage and rod would you run?homeboy wrote:From what I can see it appears to be just a flat piece on top.

Thanks, lucky guess. As far as amperage and rod,no clue. Haven't stick welded for years mostly trial and error. Nothing fell apart thou .Ant428 wrote:This is exactly what I should have done.

Same for me, and that combo should work with a decent stick welder running on 120volts.Poland308 wrote:I would run the first pass with 1/8 6010/6011 and then stringer the rest with 3/32 7018.
My Thermal Arc 161 does that combo well on 120v.
I would also cut off the old junk and clean some first.

1/8 6011 on 110? It maxes at 90 amps on 110. I suppose I can run it on 90MinnesotaDave wrote:Same for me, and that combo should work with a decent stick welder running on 120volts.Poland308 wrote:I would run the first pass with 1/8 6010/6011 and then stringer the rest with 3/32 7018.

My TA 161 tops out at 110 amps on 120v. But I'd probably use my little Bobcat 225 instead anyway - then I'm not limited on rods.Ant428 wrote:1/8 6011 on 110? It maxes at 90 amps on 110.
