Jul 14, 2023 · Re: Flux core wire feed vs stick welder - strength of the weld For some reason there a lot welders think E7018 is the best. I used a lot E7018 but it best if your welds could be Xray.

Oct 25, 2011 · I am a beginner/hobbyist welder. I bought the Harbor Freight 90A Flux Core welder (SKU 94056) because I am cheap. I like to tinker with stuff. I was inspired by several posts related to upgrading this welder, most notably this must read post by dugndeep. These are the mods I have made to this welder: - 0.030" tip

Jul 19, 2021 · Back to describing the Amico MIG-130A, 130 amp dual voltage flux welder (described above) that I bought when there were no more Titanium 125's shown available in NorCal or 200 mile radius - Redding, Reno, clear down to Fresno. I finally got over to the ranch and ran a second brief trial. It's powerful!

Re: Titanium 125 Easy Flux welder is a gem -- even with a 3800-watt generator! I have a few on here that think the only way to welded is to a gasoline driven welder like a SA200. But as long as generator is the right size or larger it will work great.

Jan 3, 2010 · Here is the last thing I am going to do to upgrade my HF 90 amp flux core welder.1-I added another fan to help the original fan,2-I purchased a knurled drive roller being it came with a v-groove for flux-cored wire,go figure,3-Added a support strap out of 1/8 inch stainless steel to help stiffen up the drive roller and the drive bearing in the wire feed assembly,4-I …

Jan 19, 2013 · This weld was with a 94056 (Blue 90A AC flux welder, 5 years ago model). I looked to see what sort of FC wire gave me this low-splatter result and discovered I had put the original HF wire back in it - K-kng brand or something like that. Apparently low splatter is as much finding the right settings as it is the brand of wire.

Jul 27, 2020 · Headed over in the morning to purchase the 125 DC welder does anyone have any recommendations for the best flux core to run in it? With my Vulcan I used HF solid wire and it worked pretty darn nice, but this is flux core and its been years since I …

Jun 8, 2010 · You also don't need the cap at the nozzle when you're welding flux core -- although some guys keep it on as a way to reduce wind at the weld. Flux core behaves as though it's hotter than the same size solid wire -- you might be pulling where you used to push. Your voltage and wire speed setting will also be different for flux core.

Apr 19, 2024 · I have a Chicago Electric Flux 125 welder and I want to swap the polarity on it (I’ve done research and have concluded that this is a must). I can’t seem to find anything on this model and am having trouble finding the electrode (I think that’s what it’s called; I’m new to welding).

Oct 7, 2013 · I bought one of these last June for the teenaged sons of some close friends so I used it for a weekend to see if it worked, to play with the settings, bought some good quality (and affordable) Hobart & HTP/Washington Alloy flux core wire .030, then tested the parameters of the welder's arc stability (we experimented on 18g, 16g, and 10g mild ...
