![]() Its bad getting beginners used to a system of numbers in place of volts anyways. Thus it would help SO much knowing the DC volts of each letter. ![]() Calling that a basic guide is too generous. Power settings were above or below everything i ever welded. I found all the speeds to be far too slow for each power setting according to metal thickness. It welds everything great if you don't go by the chart behind the door. many put or store welding equipment in basement or backyard storage shed, easier if machines are small and light and easy to move around Trend now a days is leaving garage uncluttered relatively empty as people use it as a patio and or use propane grill and or sit in garage with door open all day. welding machine not heavy, easy to bring up from basement to the garage and use as needed and put back in basement when done. I was whipping or long short long arc, etc welding. They dont recommend using a extension cord but I was welding at 60 amps using 3/32 6011 on 115volts with 50 foot 12ga extension cord (20 amp circuit) yesterday with no problems. On 115 volts it pulls like 20 amps at max so obviously have problems on 15 amp circuit breaker. i could see using 60 amps or less with 3/32 6011 rod this welder 70 amps feels very hot for 3/32 6011. many small 115 volt welders amp knob says 70 but feels much less. its a hot 70 amps that is i also could run 3/32 7018 too. On 115 volts at 70 amps cannot pull a long 6010 arc cause thats max amps on 115 volts, runs 6011 ok. not sure why not rated 6010 at over 150 amps, dont have to use special switch or plug for 6010 it just runs if under 150 amps on 230 volts runs 6010 at 150 amps or less on 230volts. If anyone is looking for a old HF90 to play with I will be selling it cheap. Not nearly the amount of plastic and the metal parts look like someone was actually doing QA. The build seems a lot better than typical HF stuff and the fit and finish was very good. It's toy small and weighs like 15 lbs and it cost under $200 so. So this little thing is a really good fit. I had been playing with the idea of getting a real MIG but realized with the TIG the work I was likely to be doing with the MIG were small fixes and some assembly and a lot of that would be out doors and where I couldn't get 220V. It's DC and the tip is not energized if the trigger isn't pulled. It also fixed a couple of my big issues with the 90 (apparently now renamed the 125, but.).Īnyway miles of difference. I looked at and read a bunch of reviews that basically said the 125 is the welder you hoped to get when you bought the 90. Because I needed a flux core and the HF 90 POS I had really sucks at welds you don't have to grind a lot and the Alph TIG isn't going to work outside unless I use stick with it I got the Titanium 125.
