1/16 6013

[Bender]

Sorry guys I've been searching this morning on this site and can't find anything to tell me at what setting is best for the 1/16 6013's. I've not used these before and could use this info.

Thanks,
JAW

Lincolns site lists amperage ranges for all rods, go to :

to answer your specific question,
ac = 20-45 amps
dc = 20-45 amps

Best of luck, BW

Thank you very much.

I've run this on a Lincoln AC225, which gave me a choice of 40 or 50 amps. I found that 50 ran better, with less sticking and outages, but maybe the voltage at my site is a tad low. I haven't checked the volts, but I tend to like the way all the rods run at the upper end of the range on this machine.

I 'd say between 60 and 80 amps would be where I'd start at, and adjust yourself.

Thank you for all replies. I will be welding a cracked place in the door of my van. I was told this was the rod to use. We'll see. Again I appreciate ya.
