You're probably more likely to adjust the welder just because you feel different that day than any change in the flux.
The real question is: will they smell different? 6013's distinctive smell really brings back memories of learning to weld as a kid.

Your machine will easily weld that with either wire. Make sure your welding polarity is correct for the wire you are using. How much welding have you done with what training at all? Does your machine have a door chart that explains the polarity, gas needs, and settings to start with?Leave a comment:

Search the completed auctions on ebay for machines in like condition best idea of actual values. Location matters greatly unless the parties are near each other.Last edited by MAC702; 11-18-2019, 12:31 PM.Leave a comment:

I'd be surprised if the owner's manual for the welder included the service manual for the engine, but this is also most likely a very generic issue of gas-gone-bad in the carb. Any small engine guy (I'm not) should be able to fix it. There are probably many generic how-to's available for this extremely...Leave a comment:

I think JOBS was the key word in the question. A 120V machine is NOT what you buy to do aluminum welding JOBS, the entire point of the OP....Leave a comment:

I doubt your "fusebox" is "only "220V" or you would have no 120V receptacles and no "125/250V" receptacles. First, is it a fusebox or a breaker panel?
As an electrician, I'll clarify that nominally supplied voltage is 120/240 VAC. Receptacles will be marked...Last edited by MAC702; 11-18-2019, 07:14 PM.Leave a comment:

The way most people would do it would probably be a tripping hazard!

To clarify, I'm not the one that made that observation. And to reiterate, I am not qualified to answer HF issues beyond my anecdotal experiences. AC TIG is my least used process....Leave a comment:

I had not intended to address the question there. I am unfamiliar with most ANSI requirements.
I've yet to see a hobbiest level AC TIGger that needed to do anything special except plug in the machine, and weld; myself included. But that's just anecdotal....Leave a comment:

American electrical terms have done us a disservice. "Grounding" is a very overused term that means different things in different contexts.
You don't need a "ground" to actually make anything work. It's a path to clear ground faults so breakers will trip when hot wires...Leave a comment:

I might as well throw it out there, since the OP was looking for feedback anyway. I agree with Northweldor. Proofreading is an issue, and technical bits like the duty cycle discussion were filled with hyperbole and errors. The explanation of the duty cycle ratio itself was correct, and didn't need...Leave a comment:

Now I'm really confused. I recognize the first two photos as completely staged photos for Hobart/Miller advertising. The welding table has never seen a spark in its life until the photo was taken. What's the last one? Welding cubicles? I'm quickly wondering if I'm wasting my time asking.Leave a comment:
