kool glad i ca n help

[@GusLandy]

I don't mean to sound patronizing, but you have an EXCELLENT voice and warm style for YT. Where are your 100k or 1M subscribers? Where? There are people with no talent/voice who made it big on YT. Really!

[@SoEpicreviews]

idk i have two other channels soepicgames for trading cards and x1 welds for welding and this channel for reviews youtube isnt what it was in 2006 and 2007 when i joined

[@refugiomondragon8572]

My lasted for 6 years... It gave out today

[@SoEpicreviews]

thats good enough for 149

[@bigdog4574]

My suggestion is to get Lincoln rods... 6011 works very well with paint and rust. Lovs this little welder, as a hobby around the house welder this thing is super portable, but gets the job done. Just fixed up a my bed frame without issues and looking to weld up some other things just for fun. 110 power + how little it was made it a must have!

[@russellheath4332]

I got mine about the same time you did, It is very powerful for an 80 amp, I burn 3\32 and Lincoln burn the best, I love the 6013.

[@SoEpicreviews]

oh yes it did well when i had it but there's better ones out now

[@achasilas6535]

[@SoEpicreviews]

Awesome, thank you!

[@N8-T]

Thanks for the informative video, been hard to get a useful opinion on this! Been wanting this little guy to just pack around. Thanks.

[@SoEpicreviews]

no prblem look on stickwelding247 for all my welding videos

[@boathemian7694]

I’ve used the 1/16 sparklers a lot on this machine

[@soepicgames]

So fun when I had that machine it did the job

[@carlos.75]

Thanks for the video very helpful

[@bill0w]

Good review man. You know what your talking about.

[@robertrambo9190]

Thanks for the video brother.

[@damondeveau5727]

You got a solution for me by any chance I ran 3/32 6011 and 7018 both of them were sticking real bad couldn’t get a arc I i was trying to weld on one of my t joints

[@damondeveau5727]

I’m pretty sure they are the harbor freight rods too

[@SoEpicreviews]

@@damondeveau5727 you can max it at 80 but the best rods for this head ach is licon rods 6013 1/16

[@damondeveau5727]

Jon204 max the amps with those rods ?

[@SoEpicreviews]

@@damondeveau5727 yes since ther cheap harbor freight rods they need heat

[@jonesofalltrades6936]

i just got one and all i had on hand are some 3/32 7018 lincoln electrics and couldnt get an arc initiated. Im going today to get some 5/64 6013 rods and try them out. The real reason i got the machine was to use with an old skool tig setup, just gotta get some argon. Thanks for the vid, one of the reasons i went ahead and bought it.

[@SoEpicreviews]

dude use some 1/16 and 5.64 i have 140 amp everlast 140st now and it ten times better

[@roberto.dcuellar.s5783]

Good explanation bro, thanks

[@fernandocerritos689]

Can I run this on a 15amp outlet?

[@SoEpicreviews]

yes

[@shanesmith2979]

good video man that's what's up

[@RockabillyRambler]

Mine took a shit after 4 years of pro residential iron, i was welding 1/4" iron, running an 1/8 gap. Im thinkin about a forney from ace, or the klutch from northern.

[@SoEpicreviews]

Rockabilly Rambler I no longer have this one it got stolen lol

[@valveman12]

No! The reason inverter technology is being used is mainly due to 3 things. 1. Weight 2. Smaller footprint 3. Control over many welding parameters that is either not possible or difficult to do with a transformer machine.

[@SoEpicreviews]

Okay I guess lmao

[@valveman12]

@@SoEpicreviews Hope you are having a wonderful day and keep striking arcs.

[@johnmurdock5001]

I heard that 7014 rods work great with these machines.

[@soepicgames]

Yes they do very well

[@MarcoGarrido-q3g]

OLA BUEN DIA TENGO UNA SOLDADORA ESACTAMENTE IGUIAL ALA DE EL VIDEO NO ENCIENDE QUE DEBO ASER

[@sevati6167]

Jon, hey bro what the benefit in reversing the polarity. I noticed you mentioned you don't have this welder any longer? You still think it good?

[@SoEpicreviews]

Sevati less penetration and the ability to weld thin material

[@sevati6167]

jon204 which combination would apply for thin metals ?

[@SoEpicreviews]

Sevati DCEN

[@alonsoelizalde6320]

How I can fix these machine?

[@SoEpicreviews]

Lawnmower16 2012 yes even though I don't own this machine anymore

[@Lawnmower-os5pg]

[@RockabillyRambler]

eastrockaway11518 mine lasted about 4 years, now im using the old blue wire feeder, its a dog, but wont quit!

[@MrFlipvideo22]

its a great welder i hate the 130 amp tig one its a 220 not alot of ppl hae a 220 line :(

[@moonolyth]

jon204.. thinking of getting for thin work how thin can you weld without to much burn through ? I have a lincoln mig and do Ok with but was hoping this little guy could do better on the thinner metal. informative vid.. Thanks.

[@SoEpicreviews]

moonolyth yes thin metal run great thinnest is 22 ga

[@moonolyth]

That's great Thanks again !

[@AnhNguyen-lr3xe]

Can I use 3/32 309l rod

[@SoEpicreviews]

Yes any rod under 1/8 works well, a 1 / 8 6013 is the only exception for 1/8 size

[@AnhNguyen-lr3xe]

Thank you bro

[@SoEpicreviews]
