I bought a new Lincoln Electric MIG Pak Welder 140, this is my review and testing of the unit. Tried out the flux core and the MIG, loving this welder so far even tho I'm not that great of a welder.
Here is a follow up video since I set up the machine for MIG welding incorrectly:

I was going to recommend changing the polarity also. I'm pretty sure that is your problem.

@jefftressler6283 7 месяцев назад

I’m pretty sure that’s the problem

@peteryeung111 5 лет назад

I swear, most welding machines had built-in rock music...when you run the welder...music comes on.

@aarondavis5535 5 лет назад

Well if it played rap I'd thank it was broken

@keithpage278 3 года назад

Ha yeah

@WV591 5 лет назад

when welding flux core or using gas, the sound of weld will tell you more about what you doing wrong than anything else. that damn music.

@cecilandrews1875 5 лет назад

Only made 28 seconds.and your comment between Lincoln and Hobart pretty much told me what I needed to know about your knowledge of welders.

@metalwelder6795 3 года назад

Great review Andrew. It is best to follow the chart in the inside of the door panel to ensure that you have the right polarity, wire speed and voltage output. As the previous commenter said, the problem with your MIG weld may be the polarity setting. Flux-Cored is DC negative and MIG DC positive.

@richardsmith-qy6vl 2 года назад

I didn't see you swap the wire to reverse the polarity if you never did that then there is your problem I'm thinking.

@MrBigTexFyre 7 лет назад

I have to disagree with your comment. The Lincoln brand is a "high end" brand. It's definitely on par or a step above Hobart. The 140 might not be a high end welder but neither is a Hobart Handler 140.

@haydenk77 6 лет назад

Agree with this 100%. I have a Lincoln handy mig which is a step down from the Hobart 140 I use everyday at work. But I have to say I weld much better with the Lincoln. Don’t know why. But I like it more. Hobart is very nice quality and look great. No real complaints on either

@outwhitu08 6 лет назад

I agree, Lincoln is in my opinion the top name in welding, both of mine are work horses, and the one i used at work, no telling how many tons of weld metal that thing has put down, never even a hiccup.

@footwrappedinaloldraglake8966 5 лет назад

100% Lincoln all the way. And I'm not sure what he means home hobbyist. I'll take, in his words, "Bof" my Lincoln welders over any other welder

@pknight6389 5 лет назад

Yeah this dude definitely doesn’t know shit. Lincoln makes high end welders. Your particular model is their low end home use welder.

@alt-w7130 7 лет назад

Check your polarity when changing wire type.

@calvinhandley2373 3 года назад

He didn't show changing the polarity for solid wire,

@splash5974 7 лет назад

You didnt show switching polarity from flux to mig... Hopefully you did this off camera. If not, that could be the reason your getting unsuccessful welds with the mig setup!

@Jeffhuebner 7 лет назад

You need to switch the polarity when going from flux to mig if you haven't already. You should be fine on that thickness.

@AndrewWorkshop 7 лет назад

Oh crap thanks!! I read that in the manual and forgot to do it.

@josephwhite9992 7 лет назад

That's the number one thing people forget. I've made that mistake a few times when I first got my everlast welder.

@tonyv33ee 5 лет назад

I can weld 3/8 with this machine

@TheLazyMox 4 года назад

How do you change the polarity

@danburch9989 6 лет назад

You've probably found this out by now: DCEN (DC Electrode Negative) = Torch/gun connected to the - terminal for flux core welding. Ground clamp on + DCEP (DC Electrode Positive) = Torch/gun connected to the + terminal for MIG welding. Ground clamp on -

@outwhitu08 6 лет назад

The Lincoln 140 is a little hoss! I love mine i bought it for using it portable and has worked very well, get it setup with straight co2 and you will get better penetration with mig, co2 makes a hotter arc, nice video and enjoy your new machine, keep practicing! And btw, if you haven't found him already go watch Jody at welding tips and tricks, hes one of the best ive seen, thanks

@poochie49 7 лет назад

One more question. Where in the GTA did you buy the gas and how much did you pay for it?

@dillwiggle2 6 лет назад

Lincoln makes some of the best machines out there. They make a 140 & 180 specifically for the big box stores in Canada like the Home Depot's & Canadian Tire stores that are good starter machines for home use. If you want a step up you can get the 140c & 180c which are sold at the welding/gas stores. The big difference is they have unlimited voltage position setting and industrial drive roll. The other machines only have 5 positions for the voltage and I think some plastic parts for the drive roll.

@tarynshoalts 4 года назад

My 140 only has 4 voltage settings (A-D) and 1 - 10 wire speed not very specific lol

Did you switch polarity when you went to Mig Andrew ?

@sydneycooperstein5463 7 лет назад

change the polarity for MIG or change it back for fluxcor

Great video. Wish I scored the set on sale you got! Looks like a great score.

@maverickjohnson7534 2 года назад

I had a crappy mastercraft fluxcore welder for the longest time and was disappointed in the quality of welds I was able to produce, looked more like bubblegum that it did a weld and the spatter the mastercraft produced was insane. Ended up selling that welder and bought this kit when it went on sale and had it in the box for over a year and busted it out today to do some flux core welding and was amazed at the quality of welds this machine can produce using flux, looked almost identical to using gas and spatter is at a minimum almost non existent, now I'm looking for more things around the house that I can fuse together, definitely looking forward to more projects with this awesome welder

@rottiejakeluke 3 года назад

Where did you get it “on sale” and with the “bonus kit”. Thanks

@davidplaster4576 3 года назад

Agreed!! Just picked up the MIG Pro today, and I went with Mig welding from flux core, and forgot to switch polarity. What a difference the switch over made, sounded perfect, and the weld looked beautiful!!

@ricardomontes373 4 года назад

Nice welder, brand name, too. Take care of it and you will have a welder for lots of years. Congrats!

@kronicsoldier 4 года назад

the polarity has to be changed when using solid wire compared to fluxcore-s ... that was obviously your problem the way the solid wire piled up without penetrating and the discoloration.

@cadillaccrow808 5 лет назад

YOU DONT HAVE THE GAS ON THERE IS NO NEED TO CLEAN IF THE GAS IS SET RIGHT AND YOU HAD THE WIRE SPEED WAY TO SLOW

@KaliBlaz 3 года назад

You need to switch polarity every time you switch between flux and mig.

@wompstopm123 2 года назад

Mine dropped on the ground face first 3 ft and didn't break I cannot imagine that being case for other brands but maybe I'm definitely never going to test that again

@bayoutrapper 2 месяца назад

Besides changing poolaarity, alway clean your metal with mig especially. A wire brush, or 36 grit on an angle grinder work great for this, or at least a hand wire brush. It needs to be clean and shiny for mig. God bless

@janj0n 7 лет назад

POLARITY is the key

@txdocprich_8404 3 года назад

Always use gas. Don’t eff around. If there a little hole in the spool, stick something in the hole and turn it, it’s faster. When you feed wire, turn the wire feed knob to max and turn off your gas, option two is hit the feed button if your machine has it. Holy Jesus that hard wire looks like hammered dog turd. One, polarity check, two, turn up the voltage until it burns in flat.

@gunchief0811 6 лет назад

#1) good video #2) I strongly recommend taking welding at a community college.. #3) keep.practicing #4) nice machine. #5) keep improving....

@dougwilliams44 Год назад

These are $800 now (before TAX) and NO "Extra goodies". Wonder what caused the price hike? These are BETTER than ANY Hobart Ive used..

Can you please reply with the gas bottle information, i tried listening multiple times but could not get it. Thanks

@andrewbrown1463 Год назад

I’ve got the same machine. Planning to arc weld 22ga sheet steel for a car panel patch. Should I keep on A (lowest voltage) and the slowest wire feed speed to prevent blow Thru?

@sherwinm3588 2 года назад

Please don't do a review on a welding machine unless you can actually weld!!! You are totally misrepresenting the product. Just open the box and end your video.

@Bbendfender 6 лет назад

Good videos for guys like me. I learned how to stick weld in high school ('67) but haven't welded much since. I used to be a good welder. I bought one of these about a month ago. Still learning but I have been building square tube shelving for storage. My welds aren't real pretty but they seem to be strong.

@kevinstrauch6439 3 года назад

That 140 supposed to be a welder to 5/16 have you ever tried a quarter inch with it

@No_Legos 6 лет назад

well now the entire review is fucked cause you didn't change your polarity and now I don't know how the welder actually performs..... my time is wasted

@poochie49 7 лет назад

Good video. I just bought this unit also. I have never welded before in my life. Practice, practice and more practice. But so far I'm liking the capabilities of this machine for home use.

I just bought this to weld 16 gauge square tubing and it did a very damn good job. Money well spent, runs off my lincoln 305 generator too!

@eljajaja3 Год назад

It is not a stick welder you have to weld forward not backward thats why your weld doesnt look straigth and try to use 2 separatly pieces not a angle for weld cuz need penetrate betwin the metal, thats why looks to many wired

@osbaldohernandez9174 2 года назад

I’m thinking of buying it for just hobby’s I’m just tryna weld like small bbq grill and stuff nothing to serious for now

Great Vid, Sub added.. Looking at this machine as my 1st "MIG" . What min to max size matetial can this unit handle? Cheers 🇨🇦👍

@SlacksNS 2 года назад

I know this is old but your problem with welding mig is that you need to push the weld not pull. Only pull for flux core

@jeffowens8722 5 лет назад

Heat is controlled by amps. Amps on mig come from wire speed. Voltage controls the bead appearance more so. You have some issues with polarity. Flux uses electrode negative (straight polarity) and gas shielded used electrode positive (reverse polarity). Hope you have got in more practice and glad you like that machine.

@wildone505 3 года назад

Welding gas can be bought at welding supplier, airgas or praxair.

@bruceaugustine6486 5 лет назад

Keep 1 thing in mind push gas and drag slag. You want to keep the gas in front of your weld to help cool the weld and keep the slag in back of your weld to keep it out of your weld.

@kronicsoldier 4 года назад

what if you're using flux core with gas? lol

@WHEREVER-I-ROAM 2 года назад

You don't need MUSIC PLEASE STOP this MUSIC B.S. Nice welder

@kr1340 Год назад

I agree with the others. The manual states reversing polarity between flux core and shielded.

@jjcrisanto9471 5 лет назад

Question I have is I'm a new beginner to be welder and I would like to make build my own side door gate out of metal for my house is nothing super thick maybe as thick as a quarter coin thick. Would this welder on this video do the job ? Or for small garage home projects. Thanks in advance if any body can school me on this.

@jaredstone9487 2 года назад

PHENOMENAL Try. TERRIBLE Execution. LoL You got this.

@aaronwood3540 Год назад

You have to change the polarity on the machine when you switch from mig to flux. You did not do that in this video.

What is the polarity?i just bought this machine and never welded a single thing in my life. I do want to learn though thx

@qualcont2 7 лет назад

awesome video. thanks for posting!

@flewis72 3 года назад

First off, videos are a big turn off with all the commercials, second turn that fucking heat and wire speed up all the way on that mig!!! I used to weld super hot super fast and it would definitely penetrate that steel!!! You can do it just crank up that heat and wire speed!!! And do away with all the commercials... 🤦🏼‍♂️

@mikeburnside4364 Год назад

Chill man. He didn't change polarity and didn't push, that's all. You should have caught that.

@xjokerx_1529 7 лет назад

awesome video

@christianteddy 7 лет назад

also mig welding is used in industrial welding. so yes it can be used to weld many thicknesses of material. It is used for oil rig machinery. So mig welding has many more uses than you are giving it credit for.

@richarde735 3 года назад

so gas or flux, you’re shielding the arc

@Alexmechanic559 6 лет назад

I think it's necessary to note that those ABC settings and 123 #'s on the machine are wire speed and voltage and each are to be set differently based on the thickness of the metal mig welding/Flux cord welding.

@achu717 5 лет назад

Hi Andrew, do you plug it in any wall outlet for this machine? Will it trip the break at max power? Or do you build a separate 20 amp breaker and outlet for the welder? Thanks man

@alexgarduno9503 5 лет назад

lincoln makes some damn good welders!!! at the shipyard i work all they run is lincoln and miller!! you can definetly see a difference in a $500 vs $2000+ lincoln welder!

@nilomyki Год назад

Weren't suppose to switch the polarity for MIG.

@edwardcaissie1214 5 лет назад

I'm sure if you read the manual it will tell you to clean the metal before welding it.

@obfuscated3090 6 лет назад

Millers consumer brand is Hobart (same owner, many common parts). 140 amps is much more versatile than the smaller machines Many auto body shops flog those little Lincolns for years. The cheaper machines usually don't have internal contactors so the gun remains hot. Even if you get a larger welder later keeping the Lincoln is a wise choice for portability and convenience. I suggest visiting welding forums, especially Weldingweb and the Miller forums (they have info for all brands). I repair welders and OA gear and have a variety of machines from different brands. Enjoy your Lincoln.

@RobynTapps 7 лет назад

Your clamp lead should run through that white cable retainer... Having it like you do will put stress on the connector thats crimped on the end

@chriss1152 7 лет назад

the gas is for indoor use the wind will blow the shielding gas away flux core you can weld indoor outdoor mostly outdoor

@chuckvaldez4149 6 лет назад

Great video! Very informative

@86bigred 5 лет назад

it would be a better weld on mig if you reverse the polarity. read your instructions. flux core and mig use different polairity. i weld thick steel all the time with the same welder. great little welder.

@Ashroyer86 5 лет назад

How thick?

@whowell117 4 года назад

Clean your metal also before welding!

@bigmendoza4784 4 года назад

what's the thickest you can weld with this welder?

@screamin5325 4 года назад

I got this same welder, for free, as part of a labor exchange with a friend. Initially the MIG welds looked just like yours, if not worse. It was set up completely wrong. So, double check the gas, the polarity, the feed wheel and only use quality wire. Mine now lay down some really nice weld for a small machine. I still use the big Millermatic for chassis work, but the lil Lincoln 140 is perfect for smaller jobs.

@T4CO1776 2 года назад

I have NEVER welded Flux core without gas. I was taught at a shipyard and wasn't taught the ins and outs so this confuses me so much. We were only taught how to weld, not information on wires and different setups. flux core and mig REQUIRED gas or else you literally couldn't weld. you'd get pinholes and burn throughs. The wire for flux core DID have a flux core aswell so it baffles me how you're able to do it without gas. Im guessing the flux in the middle is just different...
