I'd "Like" them, if I could! Thanks for the updates! -
Any insight as to why you think this MIGHT be what it is?
What happens if that's not the right one?
I don't work on welding machines, but I do a lot of capacitors in air conditioner motors. A 4 MFD would be a typical run capacitor for a 1/10 - 1/6 HP fan motor, for example....Leave a comment:

What process and wire was he using at the time?
What amp probe was he using? DC amperage is usually a pretty expensive one. I can't go duplicate the test on my machines because even as a full-service electrician, my clamp meters are only rated for AC. I've no need for the more expensive...Last edited by MAC702; 09-26-2020, 03:19 PM.Leave a comment:

Welding cable is much finer stranded than what they are likely to sell at residential supply stores.

Well, there's an informative way to bump a 7-year old thread.Leave a comment:

That hasn't ever worked. No one seems to care. And they wonder why this forum is mostly dead now. One of many reasons it USED to be the most popular welding forum on the planet.
It's why I replied in the thread. It was the only way to let you know you weren't wasting your time posting...Leave a comment:

Hey, Hobart Expert! Why aren't you out in the lab testing this right now with a stress gauge?!Leave a comment:

If you take the time to find it and quote it, you owe it to the guy who wrote it to cite it.
From my experience, in addition to what was quoted, the flux is much, much more fragile than that found on steel welding rods. You have to store them carefully. I've used a total of six of them...Leave a comment:

Short answer is no.
By welding aluminum, are you referring to aluminum stick welding, or are you wanting to add a TIG torch to the stick machine?Leave a comment:

Maneuvering a spoolgun under and around vehicle obstructions would often be worse than dealing with a short lead on a standard gun.
I'm surprised an Ironman isn't designed for a 20' gun, but then it's a Hobart, not a Miller, so is going to be a bit less than the one marketed toward more...Leave a comment:

Standard MIG wire is a helluva lot harder than nothing. No need to spring for true hardfacing wire unless you are doing enough of it to warrant the extra life and expense.Leave a comment:

I'd second the 120V Hobart Handler 140 (or upgrade to the Handler 210 MVP for added flexibility).
I'm betting your table legs and projects are within the range of the 120V units. Of course, if you are the type with a full shop and want to do it all and don't need to move the machine around...Leave a comment:
