A very good friend of mine who was a professional welder for 38 years, warned me to never weld directly on concrete. The reason being is that concrete can be porous, and if there is moisture down in those pores, as you pass over the moisture it will flash to steam instantly and blow chunks of concrete out. He still has the scars to prove it.
Keep up the work and practicing I’ll tell you first hand the more time you spend under the hood the better you will get I can for sure say that first hand from when I started out a while ago and now I’m pretty good at mig tig and stick
If you do light duty welding. I just bought a 130 amp inverter welder, and it said the maximum input current is 37 amps. So I'm thinking you have a 50 output limit with a 15 amp breaker, and don't turn the music on.
Somebody asked if these will run on 15 amp breaker. This is assuming 110 volts. You had it plugged into the house, but you didn't state what size breaker you had. Plus you didn't state what your output was because the gauge didn't show output amps. But regarding a 15 amp breaker, you would be limited to light duty welding. I just bought a 130 amp inverter welder, and it said the maximum input current is 37 amps. So I'm thinking that i would have a 50 amp output limit with a 15 amp breaker, and you'll need to run the radio on a different circuit.
Well for my welder it would be a 40 amp 110 breaker. Its still amazing that you 15 amp breaker won't pop if you crank it up to 80 amps. My welder says the initial start is at 80 volts. That sure sounds like it'll pop a 15 amp breaker if the welder is set at 80 amps. Plus everyone knows one cannot switch a 15 amp breaker for a 40 amp breaker. The number 14 wire has a tough time carrying 40 amps. Everyone knows this right.

Try holding the middle of the stick like a pool stick and you will have much better control of your welds
What size generator do you use to run this machine?
Would like to see you progress I'm going to start learning this month
Sure gonna start making more videos soon and good luck.
Gotta say I like the channel name.
Thanks man appreciate it
What size breaker are you running this on? I’m wanting one but not sure if I’ll be able to run it on a 15 amp breaker

U need a 20 amp breaker
bro you flip that glove on like a pro, lol but thank y for the review i just got one and its good.
You think I would be able to use this for go kart and mini bike welding applications?
Yeah, I think you can use it with the appropriate rods they can run less than 80 Amps and it’s not a big bike
Yes! It will run 3/32 6011 on 65 amps and 3/32 7018 on 80 amps.
Nice video. What diameter of 6011 rod and amperage were you using there?
3/32
@@M70ACARRY at what temperature
Should be around 65 amps for 3/32 71 amps for 1/8
I have the same welder
I am wondering if i can run it from my van's 2000 watt inverter to weld .375 rebar using those rods?
I not sure since I never tried it but I think it should work since it’s a lower amperage but don’t take my advice.

Yeah you do need a bette r breaker for your welder since this one is 80 amps my breaker could handle it just fine.

@@josephmistretta6211 this uses an inverter instead of a linear power supply. It consumes less energy.
@@M70ACARRY that's what the company's marketing department claims.
Great job keep up the good work
great job
Hola disculpen tengo una máquina igual q varilla me recomienda??
Usa la 6013 o 6011
What thickness cannit weld
1/4
What's up man I make TH-cam videos BUCK Potter I got the same welder the best everI gave you thumbs up for this video good job
I hope you are making good money
Harbor Fright😱
If it works, it works!
When you weld watch your puddle and just pull a straight line and watch how much better your weld looks
