Re: nooooooooooooobie
i agree with you kermdawg overkill it is, im thinking that they used 6ga because it was left over from when the builder installed the hot tub thats the only other thing in the house that has 6ga wire. i agree, every type of welding has its place, theres a reason why there is just more than 1 type of...

Re: nooooooooooooobie
thanks for the comments guys, 6 amp for the dryer is allot i thought too, but the dryer is also about 115 ft from the panel (thats how long the wire was). i thought the pre/post flow module for that welder would only control the mig part of the machine. not the tig. i guess i never checked into it f...

Re: lincoln 100 trouble
still no change in the machine. how would i check how many amps the machine is putting out on each setting ? the only reason i ask is because a car battery can have 12 volts but no amps so it will not start a vehicle but work great to run your ice fishing lights for a while and i assume that the wel...

Re: lincoln 100 trouble
this might sound dumb but what does poor contact with the tip of the gun and the wire have to do with anything ?? i understand/know about the dirty part and that they do get worn out. the volt readings that i supplied in previous post are taken both from the wheel area and from the gun end there was...

Re: lincoln 100 trouble

Re: lincoln 100 trouble
ill work on getting a picture for you. with my flux core on the lowest setting i can easily blow a hole in thick wall exhaust tube (which should be really close to 18 ga) with the gas version still no change from the last test other than it did stick to the metal a little bit more but still just kin...

Re: lincoln 100 trouble
i understand about being thick metal and penetration. but im not getting any. i could scrape the welds off the metal with a putty knife setting a 19.6 volts b 22.4 c 25.8 d 29.5 the readings i got were not all that much different than my flux core welder so i cant imagine that is the problem. the me...
