titanium 225 stick welder 2 year review

[@robertblackshear8963]

The flux 125 can certainly do structual welds. I welded a friends heavy duty hitch to his trailer. I could only run it at half the settings. These things burn hot and have a consistent aggressive arc which is what I was looking for.

[@frankmarti8984]

I have the black 90 and 170 for home and hobby good welder’s but I just purchased the two you have and what a difference thanks for sharing

[@cdgregOG]

Very helpful, I've been thinking about the 125 to try to teach myself on. Thank you

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Justforfun-ek7et]

I definitely went in reverse, I got a MIG first then got a TIG and then got the stick 225. I like playing with the stick more than the others just for welding fun, the others I will use to build more “pretty” things that people will look at regularly. Thanks for the video.

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

youre welcome glad you enjoyed it

[@robgrubb420]

Excellent video exactly what I wanted to see perfect video idea. subbed.

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

thanks

[@curotto100]

Just bought one. Love it.

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

me too

[@RussellCambell]

I have those same 2 welders both very capable machines. The funny thing is over 1/4 inch as far as I know it's all multipass anyway. In fact a little upgrade would be get multipass wire for for flux welder. IMO

[@inthedarkwoods2022]

You sold me on the 125. I've never welded before and I need one for some very small projects.

[@landonlehman5497]

I agree! Titanium Flux 125 is an awesome little welder! It's under rated for material thickness too. Also, stick welding overhead does suck!

[@jaimechimie]

Great video. my only complaint about the Flux 125 is that it only holds small spools. If it held 10 lb spools it would be great. I run the 2 lb Hobart E71T-11 and have run a lot through it. I've been looking at the stick for heavy stuff like you mentioned.

[@robertblackshear8963]

I agree. With all that power you'd think they would have designed it to handle the 10 pounders. My only complaint as well. They can be rigged though lmao.

[@randycrass2097]

The only other complaint that I would add is that ridiculous nylon strap/handle arrangement that is a potential fire hazard HF includes. For goodness sakes HF give us a handle and make it with some metal D-rings for a sling if so desired.

[@sergiogonzalez-qz4id]

Thank you. Great insight

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

You're very welcome

[@axelojeda5966]

Good real world review 🤙🏼

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

thanks

[@tadius6036]

Hey I both a titanium 225 welder and some liquid detergent split all-over the machine even the circuit board. Can you advise how to clean it?

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

not sure on that one you will have to do some homework on that one

[@briancreech9990]

I just bought the stick welder. First welder I got.

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

i like it

[@Jonathan-bf6nh]

Please do another video with the Stick 225 using 240V Power!

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

will do it works way better on 240

[@jamarhughes1719]

Do you think that 125 would be good to build barrel grills?

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

yes

[@derekbryant6137]

I agree with what you said people should try stick learn it first then go to wire feed when I was in college learning how to weld they made us learn stick welding first because it teaches you how to carry a puddle how to watch the toes of the weld look for the penetration because when you use where feed it happens a whole lot faster than it does with stick and then later if you want to try to Tig that also helps knowing those other two skills first I have one of those 225 unlike you I started with a clicker type AC DC Cracker Jack box welder inverter is way better than Transformer smoother and I recommend if someone tries a Transformer type wire feed welder and then picks up an inverter wire welder they won't want nothing to do with the Transformer then

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

youre right and fyi my first welder was a cracker jack an old lincoln tombstone ac transformer welder

[@derekbryant6137]

@@redoakridgefarm4612 cool beans they're really good welders all they care about is having 240 volts and they'll go I still have mine I just don't use it since I got inverters and the reason for that is inverters well whole lot less make my back happy

[@thomasedition4024]

I have a question I just caught one and idk which amps to put it on without tripping my breaker what’s the max for 120 v?

[@robertblackshear8963]

Around 70 Amos on that particular machine. But they weld excellent. It runs 6010.

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

they will trip a 20 amp breaker if turned up and run very long

[@MrSrtman18]

On stick 225 did you get extended warranty?

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

no

[@robertblackshear8963]

Just as good as any other brand. Including miller lmao.

[@bobd.fletcherjr4912]

Bob 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kraken509]

How does it do with 6010?

[@nodriveknowitall702]

According to all the sources I've seen, it runs 6010 fine. It's worth noting that that current dial scale indicates that 6010 current is capped at 155 amps. The reason, I suspect, is that the arc voltage is higher for 6010, so the welding power (volts × amps) is higher when running 6010s vs. other electrodes at the same current.

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

dont know welds good on everything else that i have run through it

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

I could barely hear you sound like a church Mouse real quiet

[@redoakridgefarm4612]

sounded fine on my tv

[@phiksit]

Sounds fine on my laptop.
