I used Lincoln wire for years and finally said to myself this can't be as good as it gets. I have it set up in a old Lincoln 110V 125T, that I use for nothing but flux core. Wires are coiled onto the spool per the size of the spool and might run differently in each machine based on the way it unravels and or drags on the inside of the liner etc.I don't know. Wondering if the HF Titanium 125 flux machine is limited to the small 2lbs rolls or if it can accept bigger rolls? Some manufactured wires may run differently in different machines/set ups based on the size of the spool the wires are spooled on. Went through a few spools to determine the whole batch was bad.īranded wire Manufactures may use multiple countries of origin when manufacturing the wires and thus quality of wires can vary significantly based on the location and or date of manufacture. I recal Carl CEP talking about getting a whole pallet of defective wire on the job site. It might help to check the date or lot/batch # of the wire as well prior to purchasing it. Wires are coiled onto the spool per the size of the spool and might run differently in each machine based on the way it unravels and or drags on the inside of the liner etc. To me, that stuff is the bees knees.Wondering if the HF Titanium 125 flux machine is limited to the small 2lbs rolls or if it can accept bigger rolls? Some manufactured wires may run differently in different machines/set ups based on the size of the spool the wires are spooled on. Long story short I tried Forney and will never use a different wire. Tried Lincoln flux core wire didn't like it. I tried Harbor Freight flux core wire, didn't like it. My plan was to place it at end of my feed roller … load, tack cut.ĭon’t leave rolls of wire on the dashboard of your vehicle. I initially got it to have a simple machine I could use to tack parts together that I was gang cutting on my bandsaw. However, no issues running it on 15 amp inside my shop… never tripped breaker. I typically run it off an 24year old Honda generator. This may contribute to some slipping/jerking. 030 seems to be the limit you can adjust the rollers, you cannot overtighten 0.030 wire. The stock like size tips seem to be very grabby/jerky. I have also had more success with using tips larger than the wire. I end up welding on my knees or laying down and lots of repositioning of the machine is required. Having it on the work leads to burnt/ melted parts like leads and power cord. It causes the welder to be on the work or bench. The only issue is design, the short lead is difficult to manage if you are moving around and welding. Even the hesitancy/ shame of owning a HF welder is wearing I have used their welder several times for repairs and installs.
