Does it run 6010?

Sorry, I just had to!

:yawn:

6010? Is that a rod for that holder that you have to squeeze and then put in a short rod that burns away, then you have to stop and put in another? Do people still do that, or am I confusing this with something else?

I deserve that.

I honestly kind of have to agree with the yawn reaction, looks like a cheaper multimatic 220 without HF and AC.

I was doing some today. Give me a choice between my Mig or running stick with my dynasty and I will take stick weld every time. Especially true when you're using a TIG welder and foot control and you've got live current control.

At a quick glance the duty cycle is better, and the supplied MIG gun looks better too.

Kind of odd that a multiprocess machine wouldn't have HF on the tig...

Maybe someone can shed some light for me. In the specs for this new welder when compared to the Multimatic 215 and the Multimatic 220 ac/dc, it states that it can use the 300cf bottle but the 215 and the 220 are limited to 125cf bottles. I just assumed you could hook any size bottle to any machine and the regulator would regulate the amount of cf required.

They're referring to the weight capacity of the cart it comes with.

Yup, they're talking about the "running gear".

Thanks for clearing that up. Makes perfect sense.
