Just picked one up for $100 during Amazon's prime days. I've been looking for a new MIG welder since my harbor freight welder fell off at 10 ft ladder and was destroyed. Thanks for the review and I'm stoked to try mine out soon and make some money with it. I also want to try lift Tig but wll have to purchase the kit.
Great video. I'm looking for a cheap 110v welder for my grandson for Christmas. He is 8yrs old and he has welded with me for a few months. He absolutely loves it. Thank you for sharing.
Might not have ran stick as well because you left your ground lead on +. instructions for wire feed are + ground. instructions for stick is to switch the ground lead to - and put the stinger on +
So far no issues! Just a couple small complaints. I kinda want to make another video with it where I really put it to the test and try to get it to shut down or see what it takes to break.
if you want to restrike 7018 easily scrape it on concreate hard or tap it on metal that has no current going to it hard when you stop with 7018 hard glass forms on the tip of the rod when it cools
One more question on the arccaptain 130, do you have to flip the drive wheel one way or another for 30 or 35 or is it just one slot in the wheel that handles both? I printed the manual and they don't cover anything on this. I expect to have my welder Thursday. Thanks
Should be fine. It's an older house and the breaker has been blown several times meaning that it trips at lower and lower amps every time. And I was using an extension cord because I don't have an outlet close.
@@TheAmericanCraftsmen I'm brand new to welding. I just bought this machine. Do you have to move the ground clamp to the negative (-) terminal to do stick welding?
