Anything welding

Go get it!
You can flip it if you want at that price.

That is a great machine at an amazing price.

 

Screw it, I sent him an email. We’lol see if it works out

 

Why is dual voltage important? That is a 240v machine. That is better than 120v.

 

The seller has no idea what . It is a Mig welder there is no cutter involved

Go try it out if they have no shielding find some flux core check the polarity .

Put it through it`s paces full out put and control only then thing about reaching for the money..

Unless The price is not going to effect things if you bought a paper weight

 

I have a 240 plug in my shop so I should be good. Actually have 2 since my air compressor is 240

 

If it works !!!

I get these now and then I got such a good deal the seller said it works .

Plugged it in at turned it on the main breaker tripped boy was Mom mad!!

The good deal is about almost the price of new

 

It's a transformer machine. I would like to know how the unit would be non functional? There is really not much that could fail the unit.

I'm sure you see everything in your shop, but someone wouldwould to work hard to make that unit worthless.

The M-10 whip is base model, but it will more than do the job.

 

From pics he is probably a welder. Theres a second Miller in the background. We probably upgraded and wants to clear the garage fast or it's an estate sale . I sold my father in laws 135cu tanks for dirt cheap after he pasted. I had no idea what they cost. Later found out when I bought a 110cu tank.

 

7018 uphill. Hubby asked for critique.
Thanks guys

 

Can we have a little more info? MIG welding with or without gas, stick welding? What welder is being used?

 

Vulcan ProTig 200
1/8" 7018 electrode
1/4" plate
100 amps

 

Thank you.

1st impression is not enough heat and/or moving too fast. Other than that, others can give a better suggestion. My stick welding days are behind me.

I have been watching this guy TIG and I love the look of TiG. He goes full tilt. 160amps I believe on just about everything

 

Try a slight oscilation (not weave) in the rod, middle with take care of itself. Just try and tie in to the sides of the joint a little. 3G 7018 is one of the most difficult to get a nice looking bead. Takes a lot of practice.

 

Semi finished with my bumper. I need to take it off this weekend and weld the backside. I also want to clean up a couple beads that don't look too good.

 

Try bumping up to 110 and going a bit slower. The biggest thing about going up hill is the heat carries. It also likes to build over the center of the weld too.

To start out try this. The puddle should form and if you get the timing right it'll get a little bit of a swirl.

If it builds up, space the loops up longer or move faster.

Eventually the better motion is a lot smaller than a swirl. It's a slight motion side to side. A micro version of this move. As said above, not an actual weave.

 

Where did you buy the tubing?

 

It's sch 40 pipe from Mid Pacific Steel.

 

Who can tell might be a board

might be a fan motor

Might have a bad gun

so many things could have failed

might be down right awesome !

Although my Boss would discourage me having these thoughts better to take your $120.00 tell you why your welder or plasma cutter is unable to be repaired

 

Too cold for 1/8”. And hold at the sides longer. Like the other guy stated, travel up in a Z pattern. If you want to learn stick the easy way, start with 3/32 size electrodes. Less metal and heat. Easier to do especially with 3G(vertical).

Make sure the rod is just bareeeeely angled up(as in pointing up. Not down). Like 10 degrees max. And just goto one side. Pause. Other side. Pause. Up to the other side again. Pause. and repeat.

Watch the puddle is something I cannot stress enough as I struggle with it myself. But the puddle under the rod really will tell you everything about your weld.
