Does hobart still make the 13 hp. #2060 welder.?..also what amps would I run 1/8 -7018 ..on 3/8 mild steel plate ( flat weld)

My Miller stick amperage calculator says 110 to 165 amps for 1/8" 7018 rod. You should consider getting the set of Miller calculators. Get the set of 3. They are a very good value.

The welder in Question was the Champ 2060 welder. This has 180 DCamps and 6000 watts auxilary output. The Honda 13 hp engine was used. Now there is only a limited supply still in stock, Hobart now makes a Champ 4500 and the Champion 10,000. The Champ 4500 is 140amps AC welding and 4500 watts of aux and has a 9 hp Briggs engine on it and the Champ 10,000 has 235 amps DC weld and 10,000 watts Aux and it has a 20 hp Koler or Onan engine on it.
