I recently purchased a 175 HD and the sticker which shows the settings only have values for using .025 or .030 solid wire with gas.The Lincoln website shows it can be used with 0.035 solid wire with gas, but I called them and they have no instruction for what settings to use.I assume due to the larger diameter, there is higher current.Does anyone know what setting should be used for what thickness of metal (like the chart inside the cover? (for example for .125" steel use B-3 or something like that)OR does anybody know the feed rate for each setting (ie A = 60 amps, 1 = 50 inches per min) from there I could probably figure it out but haveing a chart would be idealI know it works because I am using it, but I just have to guess on the settings. Any help would be appreciated.
Reply:Well...you´ll have to try it by urself...I´m running .035 with CO2 and for welding 14 Ga I use B and Wire to 2.5....up to 3.... .125" I would go C or D...around 4 WS up to 4.5.... I´ve only used it on E once...it melted metal amazingly...I think it could do 3/16 single pass easily...probably 1/4 nicely... (I welded solid round stock to solid round stock with a gap). For determining amps, wire speed is the determining factor... this might help but you need to discover it by yourself what works and what doesn´t but you get the idea more less...Remember settings are not the same for everyone, each one has its own welding technique...I like to go slow It´s a great machine, hope you enjoy it...

Reply:Wire feed speed in inches per minute. .030 Times 2 = amps. .035 times 1.6 = amps. This may help. For max, turn the volts all the way up as long as you are on a good plug. Turn the wire speed so you get the best arc and best looking bead. Go down from there with both.DavidReal world weldin. When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor. |
