I like you am a novice welder and bought a Lincolin 140mp just to see what kind of processes of welding I could learn and enjoy. (P.S. great machine to learn on and for most tasks around a house) I found stick welding to be very enjoyable and its hard to beat for serious tasks that need deep penetration! I only have 110 in my house as of now but once i put in 240 I think ill pickup one of these Titanium stock welders for the bigger capability it has and for the price cannot be beat. Thank for the video!
@@joatmon1857 thank you for watching and your comment. I like stick welding but can get nicer looking welds with mig. Stick is definitely my choice when it has to hold even if it’s a little ugly. This stick welder on 220v is all I will ever need as far as power. Have a great day and be safe!
Good job with the video. I had a similar Craftsman transformer welder I was given by a cousin after I sold my Lincoln Ranger 8. When it died and I bought my Titanium 225t, I cut the welding cables off the Craftsman, put DINSE25 connectors (male on one end, female on the other) to make extension welding cables. That doubled the length of my welding leads which is very handy. Note that the duty cycle for the 225 is 100% @ 100 amp on 240V and 100% @ 45A for 120V. Graphing the points for each voltage on the duty cycle data in the manual results in a useful picture of the duty cycle envelope. I've only had my 225 for a few days, but my experience with it has been good. It''s a lot of welder for a reasonable price, especially when it's on a 25% off sale which mine was. I much prefer DC for stick welding. Over the years I've used mostly 7014 and 6013. I built an arena fence using drill tube and sucker rod which was all welded with 7018 using the Ranger 8 I had back then.
@@fitch8363 awesome! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience! Yes, this welder is now my go to for stick welding. I am just a hobbyist welder but love learning the process, for me the Harbor Freight welders make that possible. Have a great day and be safe!
@@mikeingeorgia1 thanks for watching and commenting. Yes it does. It welds surprisingly well on 120v and welds great on 220v. Have a great day and be safe!
@@calebwalters7708 I think you could probably make it happen. The duty cycle would be the problem. Might have to do it in smaller increments. On 220 absolutely no problem.

The dual voltage capability makes it very versatile
@@mikeingeorgia1 thanks for watching and commenting. Yes it does. It welds surprisingly well on 120v and welds great on 220v. Have a great day and be safe!
@@CopperBarnHomesteadthink you could weld a a 3/16 thick frame on the 120v ?

Nice video
Thanks for watching and your comment. Appreciate it, have a great day and be safe!
