northern tool hybrid

admin

I bought a northern tool hybrid 200 amp mig/140 stick-tig and it seems as though the mig/spoolgun setting does have the heat I thought it would. I have a Lincoln sp 170 mig and it is every bit as hot if not hotter. On the stick-tig setting it is very hot. For instance with 0.035 steel wire and the machine at max setting on 1/4" plate it still makes a high bead with little penetration. Is there a way to measure if it is putting out a full 200 amps?
Reply:I also have a lincoln sp170, and it works well. But my MM200 kills it in the heat dept.
