The first electrodes that I bought were Hobart and they seemed to all work fairly easily with the 120 volt welder that I have. I was using 6011/6013/7014 in sizes from 1/16" - 3/32The store where I got the Hobart rods was out of the sizes I needed so I bought some Lincoln rods to try. I am having a hell of a time with them. Can't seem to start, much less maintain, an arc, and the welds are flat with little slag. What slag is there is glass like and doesn't seem to be covering the bead very well. The metal is pretty clean and I have a good ground.I'm green as grass at this, so some of the difference is operator error, but how much of it is the difference between manufacturers? I understand that some machines will burn one brand of rods better than others and then there's the personal bias people have for certain brands.Thanks for your insight.

Reply:Someone on the forum experimented with several rods, you might search for it. On the 110V machine, he found that for 6011 rods, 3/32", that the Lincoln Fleetweld 180 worked best. I tried it, and it worked better than the Hobarts. No one around here carried them, so I ordered them from weldingsupply.com. Good prices, you just have to pay shipping. |
