In the end, I finished my little project up with my Duramax's alternators, jumper cables and a COAT HANGER!!īetter looking and better quality beads, decent penetration, smacked the piece pretty good a couple times with the shop hammer, and all held up. I grabbed the leads, dragged the thing over to the door (still plugged in and running), and threw the thing outside into the pouring rain.Īfter resetting my breaker, I called the unfortunate owner, explained my past 2 hours to him, told him Id replace it with a Hobart 110 (still, a hobby welder at best), I held out in front of myself about chest high, and twisted the last weld apart. I then placed the center of it on my thigh, one hand on either side, and pushed - two more beads popped loose. I got 1" of poor quality bead, hit the duty cycle, i could tell, because it wouldnt even feed correctly after that inch.ġ 1/2 hours later, what with letting this toy wanna be cool after every 1 inch worth of bead, I grabbed my work piece, tapped it on my table, and one bead let loose. I borrowed this **** wanna be welder from a buddy today, was in a bind and neaded 4 beads, each 2.5" long.Īfter working out the amps and speed (both ended up maxed out)adjusting the drive roller, I struck my arc on my 20 guage material. I've welded for over 20 years, using countless brands of varying quality, Those who thought they'd teach themselves to weld and gave up, and those who didn't buy nearly enough machine for their needs.Why would anyone want to repair this thing. Find used 90 Amp Flux Core Welder for sale on eBay, Craigslist, Letgo, OfferUp, Amazon and others. There are tons of entry-level machines on Craigslist, from two classes of people. I'm sure others will have more suggestions. I used it Monday on some simple structure.
#90 amp flux core welder code
I have one of the earliest production models, and have used it for surprising things, including code welds. That said, I'd scour Cragslist for an Everlast Power iMig 200 used. Watching where you put the gun down relative to your work piece is important, because the tip will arc off on anything the machine is grounded to whether you hit the trigger or not.Īs for beginner suggestions on a budget, Harbor Freight can't be beat for their "bring it back, we'll give you another" policy. This is a nastier shock, but still more a surprise than a threat.
#90 amp flux core welder skin
I also know of a few who've had the tip come in contact with sweaty skin while touching the truck or car the machine was grounded to. Remember, with this machine, the tip is always live when the machine is on. I know of a few people who had to work under cars outside on wet soil that got zapped by coming in contact with the tip. The shock hazard is minimal in a shop/garage, working on a bench or under a car on dry concrete. Also Steve what type of beginning welder do you recommend.

Since I am not that familiar with welding and welders do I need to make sure my work area is free from water? A little nervous after reading your post. Paulnapper wrote:Thank you for the feedback.
