When and if I have to replace the mig liner if I go up and wire size? I bought my first mig welder. The MIG welder is currently set up for solid wire 0.6. I want to do flux core .9. I have a 0.9 tip and the .9 feeder wheel. Do I need to increase the size of the MIG wire liner?
I just bought a lincoln 180 weld pak and I don't have a 230v plug adapter power source as required. So I bought an adapter to allow me to plug into the welder and plug into a regular wall outlet. I did this before with a Cornwell welder and it worked fine. Idk know that much about welding but it just doesn't seem to have enough power. Even maxed out it just pops, no welds. I'm using copper wire, .025 I believe, with 100% argon gas. Idk, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
You should have Steel wire ER70S is a standard mild steel wire and also you want 75/25 gas 75% argon 25% co2. If you are somehow adapting at 230volt machine to a 115 volt outlet its not going to function at all properly. 230 volt would be two 115 volt that are 180° out of phase. it be 115 volt from each of 2 lines providing power to the breaker box so you would pull 115 volt from from left side and 115 volt from right side of breaker box.
@@JayJay-de8vq I bought an adapter that has the welder female end, and on the other side is the male 3 prong plug in for standard wall outlet but the welder wasn't working. I'm thinking about just running a receptacle off the dryer receptacle
@@somanynamesilltrythis0180 That sounds like it is a generator or RV/camper adaptor. It sounds like you are only actually supplying the welder with a single 115 volt input. A 240 volt welder would work fine from your 240 volt Dryer outlet that should make it weld great!
@@JayJay-de8vq you're right, I ordered the adapter from Amazon and it came from some rv company. I wired in the correct receptacle for my welder from the dryer and it's working great now. Thank you!
PLEASE have the guy get used to the idea that it is "point 8" or "zero point 8" etc. not "6mil, 8mil, 9mil" I'm in an industry where I have to continually swap between imperial and metric and doing conversions between the two off the top of my head. I learnt on imperial when I started my trade in 1977 and now a days it is more metric, but it isn't that difficult to do it. Sorry, I just don't want others out there to get confused. Thankyou.
Seems like he's a student that had a class project to make a presentation on a subject related to welding. I've seen a few videos from this site that leaves me with that impression. If they are real instructors, the students have my sympathy.

I'll have to say, not a great start. Metal Active Gas?! It's using inert gasses...meaning they're non-reactive. Non-reactive meaning they're not oxidizing and not corrosive, providing an inert environment for the metal while it's molten to prevent slag and oxidative impurities from forming in the weld (making it weaker).
Can you tell me what size tread is on a canadiantire mastercraft mig welder

When do we replace our tips?
Constantly

Mih wire size
Thx!
totally missed the "Tricks" part...
Maybe stick to welding - lots of confusing numbers given wrongly 9mm tip eh! LOL

Yup that was confusing and wrecking my head in the end. It’s hard to watch American tutorials for that reason.

Inert gas means the gas does not take part in the welding process; it's simply a shielding gas.
This is America, F... the metric system. Globalism sucks.
