After many years of trackside service. My Lincoln Weld Pak 100 gets an UPGRADE!! Finally I'm converting the flux core set up to full MIG. I'll do Argon/Co2 shielding gas conversion for $100 less than the Lincoln branded kit. Stay tuned for the test run!

Wheeew they jacked up the lincoln kit price. Around 400usd now 😬

@Irontrianglegarage 7 месяцев назад

HOLY ISHT! Is that right?!? Well I guess that makes my video even more relevant! 😎

@@Irontrianglegarage Dude totally. My neighbor has a Lincoln Pro-Core 125 (bought used for 400usd), and I've got a Lincoln Weld-PAK 100 (bought used for 135usd) and we're both looking into multiprocess and FCAW/MIG capable machines. For the price of their kit you could pick up a cheap inverter full multiprocess set up, plus some bottles. It's absolutely insane, and I think they're doing it to push people into buying their MIG welders instead of using what they've got.

Lincoln has all their manuals online including most of the ancient gear. (So does Miller). Well worth downloading. The little 100s are in so many body shops because they fit inside vehicles. I have other welders and suitcase feeders but the WP has a very nice arc. I followed this basic recipe and it works a treat. No way was I paying for the kit when my welder was only 100 clams.

Awesome!

NICE thanks. I can't tell you how many times i go looking for what i need in the garage just to see if i have it, can't find it, and as soon as i get home with one I'll see one of whatever I just bought sitting almost waiting for me.

Where’s the satisfying proof that it works video?

@Irontrianglegarage 3 дня назад

@@Strangerer69 I need a project! This winter I’m pulling the front of my El Camino apart to do some frame modifications for a larger radiator. I’m excited to use the welder on that project.

@dubbleA100 5 месяцев назад

Do you need to change the gun liner? I got this exact welder from some guy and he already did all the conversion stuff but the last time he used it, the machine was on flux. He told me to change the gun liner, because I needed to.....

@Irontrianglegarage 5 месяцев назад

Let me look into that. I don’t think so. Unless it just plain worn out. Im going from .035 flux core to .030 solid wire. Should work just fine.

@ipwee 2 месяца назад

I'm in the process of converting mine back to mig from flux core. I saved all the stuff from the last time I did it 20 years ago, and there is a smaller liner in my kit. If memory serves, you have to flip the grooved drive wheel on the feeder for the smaller wire as well.

@MikeyB_1972 5 месяцев назад

Just bought one that was converted to gas but used less than 2-3x.

@Irontrianglegarage 5 месяцев назад

I don’t use mine a lot. But when I do, hope it won’t be a bunch of booger welds.

Hey I have a question for you. I'm a beginner I just got the same welder. I wanna ask some questions brother and I need some advice

Any videos welding sheet metal with this conversion?

@Irontrianglegarage Год назад

Not yet. I have some work coming up on the El Camino. Tin work in the engine bay. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching.

@Isaac_Hanna 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video! I'm looking to do this conversion on my own weld pak 100. Any recommendations on where to get an argon bottle for a reasonable price?

@Irontrianglegarage 5 месяцев назад

You’re very welcome! That truly is the question of the year. I’m looking into that very issue. I have a few small welding equipment suppliers in my area. I’m trying to weigh whether I buy the bottle and get it filled or rent a bottle. Airgas is a large outfit that supplies welding gases. That may be the route I go. It seems to be the least expensive. When I made the switch to MiG, I honestly didn’t think the gas part would be such a spendy issue.

@hughphillips67Mustang 9 месяцев назад

What's the difference between a weld pak 100, vs a SP 100?

@Irontrianglegarage 9 месяцев назад

From what I can tell, an SP-100 is an older model of the Weld PAK 100.

@mikekmalick 9 месяцев назад

Is the Lincoln 100 weld-pac capable of welding 14 gauge aluminum?

@Irontrianglegarage 9 месяцев назад

Great question! It’s not the best option for aluminum. A TIG setup would be much better and controlled. Not to say you couldn’t try. Alum. Requires 100% argon for the shielding gas vs argon/co2 for steel.

@patrickhines9223 Год назад

what are you setting your gauge PSI at?

@Irontrianglegarage Год назад

I’m not a pro, so I’ll reference Internet University. The experts recommend between 3-8 psi. I haven’t been able to mess with it yet. So I’m not sure what the best setting will be. I have a lot of welding to do on an up coming project for the El Camino. I’ll be able to dial it in by then. I’m at sea level so that’ll factor in as well. Maybe material thickness too?
