Will it work w/ any welding machine ?

I don't know the exact answer, but I suspect it would require at least some modification, possibly extensive. I wouldn't buy it for use with another brand of welder. Of course you may know more about spool guns then I do. I will say it works great with the Hot Max welder I bought (I bought them as a set). Good luck and I hope this was at least somewhat helpful to you.

I don't think it will. I got the hotmax machine because it's prewired to take this. I am sure with some rework it could be put to any rig.

If you are handy you can likely hook it up to the high current power source for the welding part. Then you just need to provide an additional voltage source to the feed motor. I actually did this myself with a spare AC/DC adapter. The wire feed speed depends on how much voltage you provide. There is a separate 4-pin connector (as seen in the picture) for the feed motor input and trigger switch.

Your machine would need to have provisions for a spool gun, or you would need to adapt it to work with what you have. I bought a few parts to use 2 12 volt car batteries, welds aluminum well but the nozzle fell apart pretty quickly, its a consumable though.

It would depend on your power supply and the duty cycle of this unit. Also this model is good for up to 1/4. I would say it could work but not sure how long you could weld continuously because of duty cycle. Honestly, if you have a 220 source I would buy a good stick welder. Hope this helps. -- Mike

Yes, the machine runs on 220v or 120v. You are able to weld at about 190 amps at 220 volts but only about 130 amps at 120 volts. Very handy to have the option to use either.

It accepts other besides Hitachi, I"ve used Dewalt and Porter Cable and they worked fine.

I use it for my welder and matched all specifications.You need to compare the wire sizing to amperage

yes metal to metal any light gauge metal not over 1/4 inch good welder..just learn to adjust to the type metal you are useing..also run off a 20 amp breaker

It sure will, use gas and different wire--like this http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200365572_200365572?cm_mmc=Google-pla-_-Welding-_-Welding%20Accessories-_-1640943&ci;_src=17588969&ci;_sku=1640943&gcli;d=CMLJsJPV470CFY0-Mgod5mwAcw

I have never had an occasion to weld pvc pipe. but if it is clean and you have pvc material to weld with then it should work. but remember that the heat form welding will make the weld joint brittle so I would not recommend it

It has worked on any metal or plastic I have tried it on. Be sure that the area of repair is properly cleaned.

No. This soldering station will work on just about any type of job needed. You can vary the temp. and even lock the temp so it won't accidently get turned to a higher temp.

You should check with a welding supply source. I have not welded stainless, however to use with this machine it will need to be "flux core" of some type. Why not Google the question?

Yes. Cant weld anything over 14g properly. Sold mine and bought Miller Migmatic

It was a gift to our son. He says as long as you know how to weld, it would work fine in welding exhaust pipes on autos.

It most certainly can.This is a great machine for the money.The key to such thin material is to weld slow,and give it a chance to cool.And as far smaller welder don't waste your time or money.Hope this helps.

no you need a elctric welder with a shielded gas arc..tig welder Tungsten Inert Gas welder...special machine...metal has to be meticulously clean when welded with a stainless steel brush

I'm sure it would work on a small piece, but I would use some type of construction adhesive over JB Weld for that. If you do decide to use it,make sure you let it set 24 hours to cure before moving or messing with it.

Yes. Its universal so it fits almost on anything. It has to be welded. Its not a clamp on.
