At least the guy is being truthful. LOL.

I have been using my little HF Arc 110 stick welder to practice my welding.
Does real good for my practicing.
I got a couple of 1/4 plates I weld together,
then I grind the apart, and weld them together again.
But I would need something bigger to do any real work with.
At least I got a good deal with it. $5 off ebay.

Pooh Bear

Here is a link that might be useful: HF Arc 110 stick welder

I started with an HF arc welder. Then I got a 40-year-old Marquette and realized how awful it was.

There's a guy right now selling a pair of dead Chinese plasma cutters on eBay. His auction is an ad for how he was ripped off by a Chinese company who dump a load of junk on him.

I re-read the ad, and it appears it's a MIG welder, not a stick welder.

Doesn't say if it's 110 or 220 volt, though.

I suppose with a MIG welder, one is better off with a machine with a long duty cycle. That's because one is likely to want to lay down multiple and/or long beads to join thicker pieces.

HELLO PEOPLE, I am a beginner Welder, and bought the 120v / 90amp Fluxed Core HF. wire welder, in June. I'm having some problem with the "weld pool." I just don't know what to do with it once it forms? Also, I can't seem to penetrate the metal sufficiently for a strong bond.
Any and ALL Ideas are Welcome, Thank-You, Jim.
