burned some rods on the sa 200 today

The rods were lincoln 7018 AC 3/32" rods that have been laying around the shop for a couple months. Machine was set on the third selector and 35 percent. This thing welds awesomely!
Reply:Glad your project worked out for you. Truthfully, I thought a welder was just a welder - kinda all the same.  Until I used an SA200 - now I know the difference Dave J.Dave J.Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance. ~George Bernard Shaw~ Syncro 350Invertec v250-sThermal Arc 161 and 300MM210DialarcTried being normal once, didn't take....I think it was a Tuesday.
Reply:Thanks dave.I still got a few things I would like to do. Mainly pound out some dents and throw on some paint. Also need to replace a couple seals and get new motor mounts.Before I got this one I was a pretty big fan of the miller dialarc, but it just doesn't compare to a pure dc machine
Reply:Yep, dialarc is nice and it is an upgrade to regular 225 amp welders.  SA200 is another notch up Dave J.Dave J.Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance. ~George Bernard Shaw~ Syncro 350Invertec v250-sThermal Arc 161 and 300MM210DialarcTried being normal once, didn't take....I think it was a Tuesday.
