I bought one for sport to see if a 100$ welder worked,,, yes and no. It is a 3/32 6011 unit period. Its not efficient enough to run a 3/32 lo hi. Not worth messing with a fix. For another 100 or so someone,,, green maybe, makes one a lot better. -

I never had a Forney AT-100. My son had a little Harbor Freight inverter but sold it. I believe Forney had trouble with those welders. A lot of them showed up on eBay really cheap when they were discontinued.Leave a comment:

You may have cooked the thermal overload switch...
I believe that USMCPOP has one of those little Chinese Forneys...
maybe he could shed some light on your problemLeave a comment:

Forney Inverter help needed
Long story short. My dad let me try out his little inverter welder and I pushed it harder than should. It is a Forney AT-100 inverter stick/ TIG unit. I was trying it out with 3/32 7018 rod maxed out. About 3" of weld total. I then waited 5 minutes and ran 3" of 6013 when it turned off. Is it true Forney slapped their name on the Harbor Freight equivalent ? I can't get it to run again. It also has a constant on fan that will not run. Any info would be great. I just don't want to tell him his poor little welder was burnt up by me. Oddly enough the thing had great penetration on prepped and beveled 1/4" box steel
