Ranger 8 < What wire feeder

admin

Hi,  Would it be worth while connecting a wire feeder to a Ranger 8?      What output could you reasonably expect?  Would  it handle  say 30 /35  flux core wire an weld 1/4" plate?  Would a smaller unit like an  8 VS be more suitable? Anyone doing this,  Thanks for any replies,
Reply:I bought a used LN-25 and it runs .035 flux great! I would highly recommend an LN-25 or similar feeder, run your ranger in cv and you'll do great. It will run .045, but not hot enough to be worth it. It will run 035 flux or solid mig great, and do 1/4" no problem.  DougLincoln Idealarc Tig 300/300, Lincoln ranger 8, Lincoln LN-25, Miller Sidekick (keeps rockin!), Oxy/Acy torch, Miller XMT-304 with a Miller 60 series wire feeder and high freq. box, Profax positioner 8" chuck, Aaronson 3500# positioner 15" chuck
