Ive got the 125 and the 200 unlimited. I use the 125 more because of how easy it is to use. That 1G test is crazy that it held up like that . Thats a professional test and that little titanium 125 actually passed it . Thats crazy !

Great video! It's amazing what this little welding machine can do in the hands of a talented welder. Great job, thanks!

[@robertblackshear8963]

Wow. A bend test with a 125 amp flux welder? Unbelievable. Thanks a million. If the 125 can do that, then the 140 I plan on purchasing for my small business will be devastating. I need that particular one for aluminum. Thanks again. Didn't think that was possible with fluxcore at 125 Amps. 27 years of production welding and never realized that. Keep it coming.

Hey thank you for the awesome words of encouragement I was going to do a video on Sunday but I realized my microphone on my phone is busted so I'm going to get some stuff up as soon as possible by the way the titanium stick 225 is an incredible welder also the Vulcan protig 205 is awesome and worth every penny

I bought one for the weight and strap so I didn’t have to drag my esab rebel up a steep hillside or fence work. It performed really well on a long extension and I welded the 18 gauge cheap pre fab fence like a dream. Now I use it on a lot of my mobile fab/repair stuff it is really handy. Not often do I need more than it can do. Nice video.

[@criticaltexan2334]

Similar story here. My neighbor is a "master welder". and claims he used my HF Titanium Flux 125 before, and swears to high heaven that it's not good for anything thicker than sheet metal of a car (which it actually blows through on the lowest setting). I've been welding rebar, repairing engine block cracks, fixing apartment staircases, and have even patched rusty trailers with this little fella. And I've yet to have a customer call me up to tell me it broke. I'm not gonna claim that it's the perfect tool for every job. But I never blame the tool for the quality of my work.

[@stanleyharrell6009]

Excellent video. You just saved me the trouble of doing my own test with the Titanium 125. I expected that it would do the job with beveling and multiple passes, but you just kinda confirmed it. These are good little welders for around the home or farm use.

Wasn't too hopeful as I used a Miller briefcase welder back then and unless you had 1/16 rods and we're right next to a breaker panel it didn't work. And it was a $1200 machine. I welded with a 1950s Miller 225 MMA with argon and a Tig attachment so I can make it work but the 110 machines back then we're just garbage. I'm glad things have improved.

Settings? Wire? Stick out?

[@26feironworks79]

If you look on the inside of the cover I was at the top end of the 3/16 settings my wire stick out is about 3/8 to 1/2

It's a lot easier to cut the backer off of the 1 1/2" coupons.

Excellent words of wisdom I appreciate the advice

Has anybody tried welding stainless steel with it?

[@26feironworks79]

Not that I'm aware of all try to keep my eye out for some stainless steel flux core

[@TheRaulr151]

This video proves it's not the welder....it ME! haha. I need more practice! :)

[@26feironworks79]

I definitely agree with what you're saying. If you can find some wire wholesale somewhere and just burnwire like crazy. That's probably the best thing for you. Thanks for the comment and the view.

I bought one of these welders it works good for what I do

[@26feironworks79]

I'm glad to hear it. I think it will never let down. I love mine, and it has never failed. I pushed it far beyond its means.. It's an excellent place to start. Thanks for the comment and the view.
