Okay, you can call BS on my prototype and hate when I look at the menu at INN,N,OUT with friends only hearing them order everything I can't see on that menu and seeing is believing brother like them fireworks 🎇 Happy 4th of July Everyone theirs 2 types of men in this world theirs fornicators and then theirs me the fabricator..?? Then Fire-watcher now guys w this LE180 what r you..??
Yes, you can use the regulator that the Albee tank comes with as long as you do not exceed 30 CFH which is the recommended setting for the 90i MIG. For more info on the 90i MIG, visit: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/90imig/
Yes. It's very easy to switch between MIG and stick. No need to remove the MIG gun. There are terminals on the front of the machine to easily attach the stick cable, and ground cable. And then use the push button selector to change from MIG to stick mode. Very simple! Here is a website where you can get more info and download the operator's manual: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/weld-pak-180i-mp-dv/
There could be several factors affecting this. We recommend you contact our customer service team. Here's their link: www.lincolnelectric.com/en/ask-the-experts Thanks
Thanks for asking. We sell through retailers.To find info and a list of retailers for the Eagle, please visit: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/eagle-10000-plus/
The FC 90 is rated at a max of 90 amps which means you can weld 1/8" with single pass, or up to 1/4" multi-pass. If you'll be welding 1/4" a lot, you may want to bump up to a Lincoln 140 machine. For more info on the FC90, visit: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/90ifc/
It depends on the thickness of the metal. The FC 90 is rated to weld up to 1/4 inch. If you want more info on this and other Lincoln Electric products that are sold through retail, please visit: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/flux-cored-wire-feed-welder/.

The 90i MIG runs runs on a 120 volt, 60 amps, single phase circuit and needs 20 amps of input current. Check the manufacturer's specs but typically a 8750 watt generator should deliver plenty of output amperage to power the 90i MIG. Here's a link to info and a retailer list for the 90i MIG: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/90imig/ Hope this helps. Please write back if you need more info. Good luck with your welding project!
Abe, yes the 180i MP DV has stick and reverse polarity capabilities so you should be able to run 308 stainless. If you are welding vertical up, it is suggested to use smaller rod diameters because vertical up requires higher amperage, and the 180i MP is rated at a maximum of 160 amps in stick mode.

The automatic safety shut off valve does make this a very safe torch but it is a pain to use for weeding. I would prefer a blast lever and constant flame. I have to hold the torch with both hands to adjust the flame. Not ideal for weed burning.
I agree. There are so many idiots now that everything has unwanted safety features that make things a pain in the butt to use. Stupid people and lawyers have complicated things for people with common sense.
The valved torches are only used on stick/TIG machines that do not have a gas solenoid. The 180i MP does have a gas solenoid, so the recommended torches will work and have the gas pass-through from solenoid to torch. Basically, an automatic gas turn on/off, which has advantages over a manual torch valve - provides gas pre & post flow, etc. Info and part numbers for the TIG torch assembly and foot pedal can be found here: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/weld-pak-180i-mp-dv/ Hope this helps. Please reply if you have any other questions.
@@____3243 We recommend either the Bulldog, Outback 145 or Outback 185. They will work great with powering your 180i MP on 120 volts. But if you are planning to use it with 240 volts, we recommend the Outbacks. While all the generators listed above have a 240 output capacity, the Outbacks have a 50 amp circuit which is more than enough amperage to operate your 180i MP at its fullest potential. Here are the links to the products: Outback 145 and 185 lincolnelectricretail.com/products/outback-145-and-185/ Bulldog lincolnelectricretail.com/products/bulldog-5500/ Hope this helps.

No. It's a 120v machine requiring a 20 amp circuit. If you are looking for a 220v welder, both of these are dual voltage: 180i MP DV lincolnelectricretail.com/products/weld-pak-180i-mp-dv/ LE31MP lincolnelectricretail.com/products/multi-process-stick-mig-tig-welder/ Hope this helps!
It depends on the thickness and type of metal. The LE31MP is rated to flux-cored weld up to 5/16" using .035 with multi-pass welds, powered by a 20 amp 120v circuit. Please refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the parts you are welding and take all safety precautions. For more info on the LE31MP, please visit: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/multi-process-stick-mig-tig-welder/
Yes, the ground lead should be inserted into the + terminal located on the front panel of the welder. The other shorter lead is then connected to the negative terminal. For more info on the 180i MP including tech documents, visit lincolnelectricretail.com/products/weld-pak-180i-mp-dv/ Hope this helps. Please reply if you have other questions. And good luck with your project!
When using the 180i MP on 220 volts, it is best to have a 30 amp circuit to get the maximum performance. When running on 120 volts, a 20 amp circuit will suffice. For info and technical docs on the 180i MP, visit: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/weld-pak-180i-mp-dv/ Thanks for asking. Reply if you have any other questions.
For stick welding, the 180i has an output range of 25 to 160 amps if operating on a 230-volt circuit. This will give you enough power to use 3/32 and 1/8 for all projects, and 5/32 in most cases when welding flat or vertical. For info on the 180i: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/weld-pak-180i-mp-dv/ Please reply if you have any more questions. Thanks Dan
The FC90 can handle 4 inch spools of wire. So for flux-cored wire, the spool weighs 1 pound. The MIG spool is 2 pounds. You can find more info about the FC90 here: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/flux-cored-wire-feed-welder/ Hope this helps!
whats the thickest it can weld on mig ? and what is the duty cycle on this machine? im very interested in buying this machine for my stick, mig and flux needs and to learn how to tig weld
The 180i MP can weld up to ½” thick materials. It's multi-process and can handle MIG, flux-cored, stick, and DC TIG and aluminum with additional accessories. Duty cycle for MIG is 30% at 165 amp. TIG is 30% at 165 amps, and stick is 25% at 160 amps. For more info and to get the part numbers for the TIG kit and spool gun, visit: lincolnelectricretail.com/products/weld-pak-180i-mp-dv/ Hope this helps. Please write back with any other questions. Thanks!
This is a great little welder. It's also extremely compact so it take up very little space in the garage. Easy to make decent welds with fc. I find it easyer than stick. A 20 amp circuit would be ideal as I do trip my 15 amp if i get greedy with thicker steel and longer beads.
What would happen if you ground the welding table itself and also use rubber mats? Could i then touch the table without worrying about having my social security number canceled?
