Re: No penetration/LOF

Well after a two weeks a new drive motor and now a new gas solenoid my NEW welder is... STILL not working. I'm still waiting on the electrician to get the right voltage/amperage outlet installed in my garage. In the meantime I've wasted an entire tank of gas trying to figure out what the problem is....

Re: What's it worth?

Guy says it comes with "foot peddle, torch and I have a bunch of cups and collects". $500 firm. Worth it? If you can test it, and it works to your satisfaction, then it's not a bad deal. Those machine weigh 700lbs minimum, and just guzzle electricity. Holy crap monkey. NO... Thanks for th...

Re: No penetration/LOF

So I'm now using .030 solid wire. Black clamp wire on negative terminal. Red wire feed on positive terminal If I were somehow only getting 110v instead of 220v that might be giving me the problems I'm having? That would definitely limit your output substantially if the machine runs at all. Wouldn't...

Re: No penetration/LOF

Using solid core .023

No penetration/LOF

I have an Eastwood 175. I can't get it to weld 1/10 inch mild steel exhaust tubing even at the highest amperage. I have it hooked up to my dryer electrical outlet. 75/25 gas. :?:
