90 amp flux welder Patch#

I am going to be buying a small welder soon, but I m gonna buy a small stick welder, a lot less hassle and parts to buy for me at home. if you wanted a weld bigger than 1/8 in in one pass, forget it. When I used the little miller wire feeder my son bought, I laughed and told him to use it for erector sets. along with many different sizes and types of stick rods. o45- 1/16 in wire for structural for the most part.

we used flux core wire too but it was a type that you used with gas. I under stand that they have just received their bridge cert too. we were an AISC (American institute of steel construction ) shop. some flux core wire can be used without gas, they tried it our shop a few times but not even the factory reps could make welds that would pass our inspections with it. a smaii miller welder or Lincoln will work better and last longer and you can add gas if you want.

I would not recommend it for any thing structural unless you are a good welder. it hard to get penetration and a good weld profile. I m not a big fan of wire feeders without gas. It may work for cosmetic stuff, to be honest brazing with a coat hanger and oxy acetylene torch will work on body stuff too. They are way better quality and you may be able to get one with the regulator to add gas later. They can be set up to run flux core wire if you don’t have gas. I’d suggest a check for used Hobart or Lincoln MIG welders. Flux core does work well outside with wind.

That means welding a patch into your Caddy will take lots of brushing. Flux core is messy and requires wire brushing to clean off the flux if you stop the weld mid-stitch. That means it should work for a lot of what you need to do on the Caddy. 115 volt welders up to 140 amps or so are available, too. That is what these small welders do best. It probably can weld 1/8 brackets with 2-3 passes. Converting to gas down the line is a good thing.Ī 90 amp welder can stitch together a 0.090 mild steel floor or thinner fender sheet metal with practice. Since you mention flux core wire, I am assuming a wire welder that may or may not be able to be converted to a gas MIG welder. I can’t comment on the specific welder other than that price seems really low for a flux-core wire welder.
