I looked that welder up, it shows a round bore with a keyway, I state what I have is square drive. Take a look at yours to make sure

wire feed rollers

I have 2 wire feed rollers .030 and .035 for free plus shipping. They are square drive not round with keyway. I ordered off of ebay and they sent these instead of what I ordered. They might fit the small Lincoln welders I believe

Re: Lincoln 350MP

i purchased this one and it looks to be made well, can't tell you how long it will last because i have barely used it to date. I wanted a 15' lead, mine was 10'.

Re: Surge or running watts?

I have an eastwood mig250 I am looking into getting a gen for it. To run on 240v at 47 amps I will need a 12,000 watt gen. My question is do I need 12k starting or running watts? Thanks why do you need a 12K gen, my Onan in my motorhome puts out 51.5 amps with 6500 watt output You have 240V in your...

Re: China Welders

Just for fun I stopped in to Harbor Freight to look at their welders and consumables being that I recently purchased a little 200 amp China Mig I wanted to compare. At first glance the 200 green and the 210 orange welders look pretty good but, as I started touching them I could see very flimsy knob...

what kind of camera could I use to record my welding? I thought I could up load it here for better help from the pros

Re: Welder set up

did a little checking on this welding machine to see if the manufacturer was honest on their specs. It claims 200 amps on 220 volts, with a clamp on meter I was between 186 and 200 amps full out on voltage and wire speed. Specs say 26 volts on 220, I was between 25 and 27 volts maxed out. The last t...

some pictures, looks like a lot of brown soot for some reason. I think I was running about 22 volts and around 400 inches per minute and 1/4" plate

Re: Welder set up

changed out the bottle, I must have had something other than 75/25 probably straight Argon. The welds look much more like I think they should as far as not all humped up. I also like the bigger longer torch lead, just feels more comfortable in my hand I guess and, didn't seem that the feeder was lab...

Re: Welder set up

Yup, which is why I turned to ultra-low-drag carbon graphite liners for my custom made 6-meter MIG guns. AFAIK, they have the least resistance of any liner, followed by Teflon, and then by regular steel liners coming in 3rd place.. I was pleasantly surprised that my standard drive motor/rollers on ...

Re: Welder set up

Fronius is expensive for a 210 amp welder at 2K. Must be a long lasting machine. I guess that's what it takes to buy quality The cost of many of these higher priced welders isn't in the feature set as much as it is in the duty cycle. That's typically what you're buying, usually along with a few add...

on my day off yesterday I went out to a small welding supply store that I didn't even know existed about 20 miles west of me in Ottawa, Illinois.

Re: Welder set up

Better pic Using the knurled roller for solid wire will increase drag compared to a smooth surface. That knurling that gets transferred over definitely isn't good IMO. I recommend the proper V-notch drive roller for solid wire. I found the .030 v-groove roller, going to order some spares. Not sure ...
