Hi all, I have a Honda Gen/ DC Welder that use for welding. For those with engine drives, mine has an auto throttle that brings it down to idle when not in use. I have welded with this feature on and off, with no difference in the welds themselves. My question is if it is bad for the machine for this to be on, maybe dropping the duty cycle or something?Also, I am having problems with 6011. The rods actually catch on fire after maybe a half inch or so of welding, sometimes less. This is with 3/32" and 1/8" rods, either polarity,about a year old, held in a plastic rod container. Does this sound like a bad batch, or is it operator error? My 6013 doesn't do this.Thanks for any help.Matt
Reply:Read your owners manual for the machine it will tell you. It doesn't bother my Lincoln engine drives but they are designed to run either way. I seldom ever turn the automatic idle off. No need in the engine turning all those rpms when the juice isn't needed. On the rods it sounds like you are running way too hot. You shouldn't need but about 40 - 50 amps on the 3/32 and 80-90 on the 1/8.The difference between art and craft is the quality of the workmanship. I am an artist.
Reply:Yeah I reread the manual and it actually says to use it when welding; funny I missed that before. Going out to burn some rods now; Will try with the amps down some. ThanksMatt |
