Used welder

[hakim]

i kinda did some digging on what i want and found them on net had them on hard drive ever since

its a variable name machine like the oxfords just that name plate is different

Yh good machine only problem its too heavy

 

[gaz1]

will it ever get pinched not likely its too damn heavy

they will just get to corner and put it down or drop it as its not going to go far

identical to dads one .

That looks home-made and not a proprietary one.

Its a very cheap basic earth clamp I suspect they won't come with much more. Its done a few hours for sure or the user is super careless

Yh its seen better days opend the welder one of the plastic clip that hold the bored where broken

Does anyone know if the xti160 will run 6010 cant really find 6011

You can get Lincoln 3/32 6011s on Amazon. £33 for 5lb box delivered from the states. Upto 3 weeks for delivery though. There’s a few on ebay too for similar money.

The Parweld 162 runs 6010. It has a button especially for them to bump up the voltage.

@hakim unless it's got a dedicated 6010 mode I doubt it. Probably would run 6011, what you want 6010 or 11 for?

Its just nice to know if o meed them i can get them

Even nicer thought is that you're almost definitely not going to need them. I'm not a fan!

What does this mean l1eff=25a does that mean it need a 32 amp supply the welder came with 16 amp

What does this mean l1eff=25a does that mean it need a 32 amp supply the welder came with 16 amp

The 32A figure is the instantaneous max current when you start the arc, but it only lasts for a millisecond or two so is well within the capabilities of the 16A socket and the cabling to the machine. The 1eff figure is related to that but a bit of jiggery-pokery is applied for design purposes and the same applies.
Ideally, a 32A plug and socket would be used if you're going to run the guts out of the thing all day long, but since most of the time you'll probably be using it at half to two-thirds power, you'd be fine with the 16A plug.
Hell, a lot of people use them on 13A plugs and pop the odd fuse once in a blue moon, but obviously nowhere near full power.
I throw the ball over to power sparklers to further explain the smoke and magic.

So it will be ok at 16 amps supply full power

You'd probably be fine with that. Many of these machines run happily for years on a 16A socket with no problems.
Otoh, if you really need the full power out of it, it would be well to look at something more able to run heavier loads all day long and be prepared to put in a 32A socket in any case.
