Lincoln PM 210 stick settings?

admin

Ok so I got the upgrade to a 50amp 250 volt plug installed��...hella power coming out I can tell, stick settings are: arc force-6 hot start-3 using Lincoln 3/32 12 with fleetweld 37-rsp, I used 75a on top bead, 85 on bottom weld,  the slag is burnt to holy hell and hard as a rock trying to hammer it off which is so unnatural compared to the 7018s @ school, the arc was out-of-control and you can see where it splattered I'm not a great welder I'm new at this but I am very good considering I've only been doing it a couple weeks send this picture and it's welds are not normal for me, I was a bit shaky as I'm still working on my grip with this extra light electrode but I just don't feel like this is how it's supposed to feel, can't stress enough the burn factor before I polished and hammered...Plz helpLast edited by Dallasnewb; 12-21-2014 at 04:42 PM.

Reply:Ok better beads now but the stick still getting eaten alive but maybe this is normal for this 6000 series, I can't make it all the way to the end and it's SO hard to keep down on it and get the right arc CUZ the rod just disappears on me here they are the second from left is with hot - 3 arc - 3 85 amps the left is arc 3 - hot 6Last edited by Dallasnewb; 12-21-2014 at 05:52 PM.

Reply:Your settings sound fine, I generally run 6013s at about the same current as 7018s, around 85A for 3/32". The 3/32 electrodes are harder to control than 1/8" because they burn fast and they flex more. If you don't have much experience with stick, practice with 1/8" rods until you are able to maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed. Then you can move on to 3/32 and have an easier time with them.JohnA few weldersA lot of hammersA whole lot of C-clamps
