My new Stickmate

admin

Hey guys... Well, a few days back, I posted on this board, looking for opinions on the stickmate, and what everyone thinks about it/them. And, going by how well liked they seem to be, the price, the warrenty, and the local availablilty, I went and bought one. I just wanted to thank you guys for your help, and share some pictures I took, and a video. Enjoy For my first weld with this thing, I just did a three bead T, flat position, with hobart 6011 root, and 7018.[Account Abandoned 8/8/16 Please Do Not Attempt Contact Or Expect A Reply].

Reply:congratulations Lanse. looks like you got enough room in the bottom of the mig cart to put a shelf for the lx. welds aren't looking to shabby. also is the steel galvanized? kinda looks like the narrower plate is. if so be very very careful to grind it clean before you weld and don't breath the fumes....jimp.s. looking at the pics again and curious if you welded in ac or dc? you have it set for ac in the first pics. lot of spatter. flip it to dc and don't look back.Last edited by jbmprods; 03-12-2011 at 10:45 AM.225NT bobcatAEAD200LEScott 125mm175, mm252 w 30A, PT225mm211, TA 181iHyper Therm 380, cut master 529100X & XX, Digital Elite6 Victor setssmith little torch, meco midget kalamazoo band sawsteel max saw evoulution circular saw

Reply:Originally Posted by LanseThanks man!! I'm planning on making another cart just for the stickmate... One with hangers for the 25' leads I'm planning on putting on it, as well as a spot for a box or two of rod....No, thats just old steel from the scrap bin, It was painted a really long time ago, and heavily rusted and pitted... I ground it down some, and then went to town on it... It certainly wasn't clean, and the 7018 I ran was sitting out in the open, so it was no doubt wet. I did run it on DC, although I've forgotten the amps. I didn't think there was that much spatter there for three welds... But thats just me...
