Just a tip, the 6013 is not a deep penetrating rod but it is excellent for old rusty joints and painted surfaces. The 6011 is the one you want for deep penetration.
A little late to the game, but I haven’t been able to find a definitively answer to this question anywhere. Can you weld aluminum in TIG mode with this model?
I have a new unit with instructions and it clearly states that with 120 VAC a 50 AMP breaker is required. But it provides an adapter from large diameter 220 VAC cable coming off the unit to a conventional 120 plug with ground. Something was lost in translation.
Yes, translation NFG. No 120 volt plug is rated to 50 amp. Highest I've seen is 20 amp for 120 volt wire guage wire. I have had no problem on a standard 15 amp, 120 volt plug.

And 1/8 too
That welding table is a classic, can double as a rod bucket for the spent rods

I think I'll get one. Never welded before
Thank you posting, just bought this one and same rods. So you had no issue using 110 / 15 amp outlet?
Thanks!
Do you ever run into the Duty Cycle? Like the welder will just shut off to cool off for a bit.... Thoughts?
The welder didn't shut off on me, but it would if you welded for a long time.

110v is either 15 or 20a
it was 15 amps@@666dynomax
im getting one @@farmboyfixes
can only be 20amp if the quage wire is 12awg or thicker. 99% are 14 awg, hense 15 amp rated.@@666dynomax
links to rods?
What’s the thickest you can weld with the 6013 with the top lion welder
It does have a 240 volt adapter, which I didn't use. On 120 volt, I would do 1/4".
I have one in these it is a really nice welding plant.
I agree, for the price and being able to use 120 volt, it is a nice unit.
Hello friend, it works with the 110 home connector
Yep, thats why I bought it.
@@farmboyfixes Thank you friends
yours reached 195 with a 110 circuit? i just talked to amazon and they said without 220, it will only reach 140
I dont have 220volt, so thats what I dialed on my 110 / 15 amp plug
THANKS
