I'm an Oxy/Acet welder, so can someone tell me the difference between 0.030 & 0.035 welding wire diameter? Which is used for what. Thanks

I'm sorry...I brought this for my 17 year old nephew... I know nothing about it.

It's a wire feed welder so as the wire passes through the gun it melts and bonds with the metal your wedding

Consider it to have a similar effect. To using different sized rods during oxy/acet . The .035" should fill in joints and beads better. Also consider a small project. Such as welding chainmaille. Wire with a small diameter will allow for smaller welds.

You will get much cleaner welds with Gas, I am not an expert welder, but had much better results with gas. The welder ships with flux core wire for use without gas. I found it produced much more spatter and a less consistent weld pool than when welding with Gas.

This one works like a charm. 3M Speedglas Magnification Plate 2.0X, Welding Safety 06-0500-57 I think it's standard size.

size of wire is mute when application is non critical. i.e.: 22a is a std size for auto speaker wire, 18/20 ga (commonly called "zip cord") is good for small appliances, lamps long distance speaker wire. 18/20 ga is a common size for many uses, depending on your needs. All wires I have mentioned is stranded, so is the 20 ga I got from Amazon. solid wire has specific use as opposed to stranded. Stranded is also cheaper. Check with your electrician for more specific uses.

the size of wire to use is listed most of the time with the welder manual that you are using the spooler with. the smaller units can only use the smaller diameter size wire. when your not sure always use the smaller size wire, that way the wire will flow better, make take a little longer to make the weld. When welding aluminum 1/8 to 1/4 always use pure argon

What type & dia. stick rods are you welding with? The smaller 6010/ 6011 X 3/32" dia., usually burns hot BUT the riostat should still work to some degree but cause a much colder start whereby making it harder to keep an arc. Welding on thin metal will also appear to make turning down the amps not very effective. Try welding on 1/4" - 1/2" & adjust the amps up & down...if you still don't see any difference, then your amp adjustment is defective. I have no problems with my welder and am very happy this its performance. Thanks!

I have a 125 welder and this only uses flux core, I also, have a 140 with shielded gas and it use both flux core and solid wire.

Solder is never sold in a wire gauge. Wire gauge is used to define electrical conducting (non-ferrous solid or stranded wire) usually copper as defined by the Brown and Sharpe standard. The size is .062" which is over twice as big as 22AWG. Although solder is conductive it does not retain its diameter since its melting point is very low compared to copper. I don't know if this explanation is what you wanted to know.

&gt;&gt; JOHN W. This kit comes with three (3) adapters. Two of which are 1/2" outside Male Flare to male pipe. one of these two is 1/2" to 1/2' and the second of the two is 1/2" to 3/8" O... The third adapter is a 1/2" Male Flare to or "x" 3/8" Female Pipe ( #/8" O ) { Like a hex nut } I hope this helps...Johnny

The machine is designed to take .025, .030. or .035 diameter wire. It comes with .025 tips but I have always used .030 so I switched to .030 and use shielding gas. If your going to weld heavier material, 3/16 to 1/4 inch then you will probably want to use the .035 tip with flux core wire. I was very surprised by the quality of this machine. It is easily comparable to the more expensive Miller, Hobart or Lincoln welders of comparable amperage. I am totally satisfied with my machine. There is one thing that I found out the hard way, the plastic face on the machine doesn't take well to being left in direct sun light and heat all day and will wrinkle and shrink a bit. Just a word to the wise where you use the machine.

Hello, dear friend, we are sorry to tell you that the ' solderless,no welding' means there is no solder connector in the middle of each 20M. Sorry for the misleading. Any other questions, please kindly share with us. It is our great honor to serve you. Best regards, Lemonbest

Hello, the smallest I was able to make was just over a 2mm, the next size was 3.5 and the largest 5mm. I realize the 2mm sounds small though I had purchased for a particular project. I was using 26 gauge wire and was wanting a tight loop. Also the pliers were rather heavy so it was bending the wire from the shear weight. But they are well made just too big and heavy for me. Unfortunately I do not use them. Hope this helps.

The amp rating is for the jaws only. NEC table 310-16 shows that 1awg wire will do a max of 150 amps, and even professional rated welding cable at 1awg will only handle about 190 amps. The highest rated consumer available wire I've seen is 750MCM wire, which is over 1.15" in diameter, not nearly flexible or light enough for jumper cable use, and is still only rated at 535 amps.

Wire is rated 30 amps. Are you using for welder supply power, or for welding leads? For supply, the welder must have an input rating of 30 amps or less. This wire is not suitable for use as welding leads.

Any fine diameter silver solder will work fine. Rule of thumb is to always use solder with a smaller diameter than the wire you're trying to solder, I always try to use 0.032 for just about anything.

About 5/8. I use it as an extension cord for my 220 Lincoln welder. Works great

its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting up wire tension. now it never jams. overall love it its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting... » Read More its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting up wire tension. now it never jams. overall love it « Show Less
