7018, 1/8" Lincoln. It's old. We ran out of AtomArc rod, LOL

We also don't store our 7018 in an oven, which is just stupid...I've been trying to get them to get one, but they don't seem to understand that the rod we waste because of improper storage would pay for it pretty quickly...stupid ****s will trip over a dollar to pick up a penny, LMFAO

LMAO! I haven't done stick yet, so I wouldn't know, but I've seen that happen to my friends and relatives.

I've done similar on my flux welder though when I removed the mig tip and put the flux tip on. Took me a little bit to break the habit of leaning on that tip. Makes an awful sound when you do that too

Sucks even more when you do it with tig filler or dip the tip on your tungsten.

I only have the tig basics, not a lot of practice or time on the torch.

But I sure have dipped and re-sharpened a lot of tungsten.

The worst is when you touch the filler wire to the tungsten while tigging. That'll wake you up.

Interesting results....


I still say the Lincoln wire (result on the right, I believe) performs better in my little cheap *** welder than the HF wire.

Hey guys I've researching welders that I want to buy and so far I have narrowed it down to machines, the ESAB Rebel 215ic, the Lincoln Powermig 210, or the Miller Multimatic 215. Each one has features that I like, I'm leaning towards the Multimatic 215, but I would like to see if anyone that has used these welders has any pro or cons over one or the other.
