Titanium stick 225 review running on 110 

I hope HF give you free machine I bought stick225 about 2yr ago because of your video. Now this video blown me away I didn't know 110V can handle 1/8 rod, especially 6010 that I like. You practically teach/show the max capable of Titanium welders that I don't see any on YT.

I’m a 40 year Amateure welder. My stick welds improved instantly with this new 225. Smooth and forgiving. I used to struggle with 7018 now I love it. Nice review.

Great video! it sure helped me learn better

I’m new to the world of welding and looking to purchase a welder for home projects. This was a great vid and extremely helpful. I have seen hundreds of videos on welding and yours is one of the best I’ve seen when it comes to an unbiased opinion. You are amazing and keep doing these vids.

Great video. 👍 😊

Another great video! I’ve wondered how the 225 would perform on 110, definitely seems to have some sort of hot start and arc force. Thanks again

Thanks man

Interesting, that's really great for 110 v. I've had a couple of other older transformer 110 stick machines and they Don't have that much power, nice job, THANKS

Sold me!!! Thank you

Very impressive. I should have got it when it was cheaper.

I really enjoyed your videos. Did you use the circle's pattern for the horizontal weld and the overhead?

Now I an going to pull the trigger on the 225 stick in my watch list Thanks foe the info. freezer'

Make a video welding with 4043 rods on aluminum at 220v lil above 85 amps

Just bougt one yesterday welded aluminum

Thanks for posting this. Nice stand you made there too! Has that welder held up in the past year?

Im glad someone is durability testing this thing. I have one myself and i love it. How many hours do you think you have on it?

Run some 3/32 6010 on 70amps. Should weld beautifully!

Im new to welding. 9hrs into my class, 12 weeks 3hrs a night. Im thinking i might pick up this machine. I just bought a titanium mig 170 for home. Using flux core on 110 im struggling. I do love harbor freight. Thanks for the vid. When i get this machine, whats a good rod to get when im at harbor freight. Im gonna hook up my generator and run 240 on my mig 170 and this stick 225. Thanks

It would be nice to know the 110 & 220v amp input circuit requirements

These open roots look like they haven't been pushed upwards hard enough. I don't know how 6010 or 6011 rods behave in this regard as these are non-existent in my area and none of welding machines support pure cellulose welding rods. If I were to test this for myself it would be either with anything that falls under 6013 type or 7015/7016/7018, 8018 or even 9018 not including stainless or special purpose rods. However, a welding machine would be running either from single phase 240V or triple phase 400V AC source, so that won't be a fair comparison anyway. Running off 110V must be awful for primary power circuits since current is at least twice as high...

@26Fe Ironworks, What amp breaker are you using on your 110v circuit? Has the breaker ever tripped while welding on 110?

I just bought mine a couple days ago put can’t find any plug to run 240v any help do I need to buy another extension cable or what ?

Hello. I’m new to welding and just bought the titanium 125. Im confused on what kind of metal I can weld. I know not stainless or aluminum. But it says you can weld mild steel and low alloy steel. For me who’s brand new what exactly does that mean? Any steel that’s not stainless or aluminum? Also where can I buy this steel to practice? Would Home Depot have it? Lastly, how do I know what kind of steel something is? If I have a trailer I need to fix, how do I know if it’s low alloy or mild steel? Sorry I’m advance I just feel lost as I’m brand new to welding. If there’s anywhere you suggest I learn more lmk

This is the prob I'm running into at work I only have 110 and it's always giving me problems crank it up all the way use 3 dif types of rods and it just constantly will start but will just will always cause rods to stick what am I doing wrong ???

does anyone know what size generator you need to run this welder on 220v

I can't believe this cheap little stick runs 6010 that well on 110/120. I wonder if the HF TIG machines would also run 6010? Is there anything fundamentally different about DC TIG vs DC stick that would cause the TIG not to run 6010?

You had too big of a gap on ur root or your testing phase which if u had a smaller gap it would have looked alot better
