hey thanks for sending that picture. you have to wonder if they use that label for everything they manufacture. if they manufacture anything anymore.

thanks to the other guy also for making my point about the 6011. instead of performing multiple levels of testing with multiple manufacturers of welding rods as suggested. just buy some 6011, it's childs play; isn't that better?

that labeling regarding tensile and yield strength is suspect.

I was puzzled by the label as well.
So I pulled up the Lincoln 5P+ sheet and the as-welded numbers are similar.
It also lists running them DC- although I've never actually heard of anyone running other than DC+

I wonder how the ESAB 281i does with 6010?

I've started a few rods in my time. The adjustable arc force is fun! Again not really needed tho!
Thanks for your $0.02. I kinda figured I couldn't go wrong for the price. The extra $250 or so price differential will buy a lot of welding rods. And as a beginner, having a machine enforce a short arc length (but not snuff the rod) might be good training.

As soon as I get the jack, I'ma pull the trigger on one.

If you do buy a PA-200, track down some ESAB 10P-Plus 6010. A guy from another site who I'm helping him with his welding bought a Longevity Stickweld 250. The 10P-Plus ran real nice on it too.
