I'm pleased at how it works, but I need to practice too. 030 Lincoln flux-core wire from Lowe's and some Lincoln tips before I ever used it.
Harbor freight 90 amp flux wire welder mod#
In my extensive research before buying, the only "mandatory" mod it needs is better wire. I'm 39, have a 225 amp 220v stick welder, and I just bought the same welder you have. Slow down! Remember, you are on GJ and no tool is good enough for anyone! When I saw your post I was just waiting to see who would be the first dick to tell you to scrap your machine, give up, buy a true MIG, or do something else. Welding can be very enjoyable and the things you can create are endless. you can use a fan with the flux core wire but if you switch to using solid wire with a gas bottle you'll need to come up with a different way to vent the fumes. One other thing, weld in a well ventilated area. Right now you are learning control of the gun and how the welder performs. I've heard that the flux core wire that you get from Harbor Freight is not the best quality so don't get discouraged if things don't look good. when you get the piece of metal filled with beads, start over again and stack them up on the first layer. You'll learn how close to keep the tip from the surface of the metal. You're getting a lot of good information here but one thing I think you might want to start off with is a piece if 1/4" flat about 4" wide and say 12" long clean the surface well with a grinder or wire brush.
