I bought this same welder two weeks ago, I was in a bind and needed something on site 600 miles from my usual setup. If you're wanting to get 1/4 inch to stick on 120v use the "evil straw" flux core. It's not pretty, it's not ideal but I have had pretty good luck with welding 5/8 with 035 wire on 120v.
I do a mobile tire shop and right now I can stretch and paint wheels. Can this welder can weld hairline cracks in aluminum wheels with the spool gun? Provided I heat the rim first and run it on 240.
Thanks for such a great review of this machine. I am looking into buying this to help with some of the work on my 1990 Ultra Blue GT. Yours looks great.
Looks good works good. Can't beat that. I was just telling my son that he is going to learn how to weld this summer. I have a little Lincoln wire feed mig. Works awesome. Great tool for the automotive stuff you are planning 👍😎🖖
Thanks for the good video. I can't find any specs on stinger and grnd lengths. Even in store there is no access to cables. Is stinger connection proprietary or will lincoln etc also connect properly? thanks
I think you will be better off with 0.30 wire, plus get wire that is not from harbor freight. get lincon wire or hobart wire. plus use 25/75 gas it will make your welding 10 fold welding.
I just bought this model. It tripped me out that it stats to run slow when u pull the teigger...after a few seconds...it picks up the speed....is this what u mean? Any additional info on this please?!
The manual specs are 120V @ 24A which would indicate a 25 or 30A breaker, but shows a 20A outlet and plug. A dedicated 20amp circuit might do the trick, but thinking I will use a 30A breaker and run #10
So my mig 170 does the same slow wire feed initially and speeds up after 3-4 seconds like yours does. I bavent noticed a difference in my welds and dont even know if it does it when im actually welding. I was wondering if this is normal but now i see yours does it too. Any more info on that?
@JohnVHLife so did some more research on it this morning. It's a feature to feed the wire. Once you actually have gas running and strike and arc it acts normal. Supposedly anyway. I guess it's common on most newer welders, but they don't list it in the manual as a feature or say anytning at all about it from what I know.
I think mine had a silonoid failure and it worked like twice and stopped so I returned it the next day it's getting gas to hoses and whip is clear if u look on owner manual it shows the solenoid being only thing inline that give the gas when the gun triggers it u should hear gas when u hit the gun
Nothing professional about this welder, or anything from HF, but it does seem like a good cheap package if you need to do aluminum on spool. I got an ac tig and a 350p with a push pull, but need something cheap and portable for migging steel and alum.
I think plugged into 120 it only goes up to 275, plugged into 240 it goes to 400, I just bought one yesterday and haven't found a 240outlet to plug it into yet to verify
