Very powerful welder

This is a premium five star welder. The mains cable, positive and negative cables, stick electrode holder and ground clamp are designed for heavy-duty applications. Engineered for big hands and harsh environments. A small box with a steel body, and the front and back are made of hard plastic. The LCD display is easy to read and this welder is so easy to use that even a beginner can practice with it and turn small welding jobs into master welders. It also has a power switch and comes with two adapter plugs (110 and 240 volts). It's easy to use and if you're familiar with manual metal arc welding (MMA), the oldest welding process, you'll love using this welder. And don't let the size fool you. This is a very powerful machine. In addition, the device is quiet, does not hum like old welding machines. Another great feature is the dual input voltage. This makes the welding machine versatile. You can plug the machine into any standard 120 volt outlet and it will generate enough power to weld relatively heavy gauge mild steel. Solids approximately 1/16" to 5/32" thick can be welded with the following settings: 120 volt input and 55-70 amp output. Also, I've been welding 3/16" to 1/4" (3/16" to 1/4") thick mild steel at 120 volts input and 75 to 80 amps output, and it welds well with acceptable penetration, that is astonishing! I also attempted to completely unplug the welder by plugging it into a 240 volt outlet with a maximum rating of 160 amps to weld the chassis of a pickup truck that is in my body shop. The machine works great. In fact, I had to lower the output current to 150 amps and then further reduce it to 140 amps to get optimal performance for this particular task. Here I used an X 6013 brand 1/8" thick electrode and I will tell you if you let a novice welder start welding on the chassis of your car and if he cranks this car up to the maximum output current he will make a hole into the chassis when he's not careful.This welding machine is ideal for auto shops that weld suspensions, frames and chassis.In addition, it's good for making light steel products.And according to a friend of mine who has been welding for twenty years and has several certifications in the field of welding, the quality of the machine is excellent and the overall performance is excellent for the price.

Pros
  • Plasma cutter
Cons
