It was a while ago but I am pretty sure I changed the ocv from very low to very high via some hidden menus. The machine runs 6010 very well..

5/32 will make a nice cap on that.

Years ago in a welding shop we would get worm tracks if the stickout wasn't long enough. The explanation was something about moisture in the flux and the longer stickout gave more time to preheat it. I am not so sure of the credibility of that explanation but it did work to go longer. You can easily...

PM'ed you......

My Dynasty200 came with the ocv set very low for stick welding. If you carefully read your manual it will explain how to raise it much higher which allows for great starting. It is so great it literally starts the arc up with a bang....

Powerweld 250 or Prostar. Cheap, good clamp, with hand clearance.

Thanks for the heads up! Mine seems to still be running so far. Broke it in with a week of -35C...

Just put one on my truck. Nobody told me it has a squeaky arc like a Lincoln though...

Talk to the X-Ray hands and ask how your shots are looking and what is allowable. If they are totally clean and there is some room for some defects then ask them if you can loosen up just a touch and see what happens on the next shots, as Rig Hand suggested. Some times there is way more allowance...

My 2 cents:

I was lucky to have had my old Dynasty 200dx in my back seat when my engine drive machine crapped out a few weeks ago. Since I am working on a power plant site there are lots of plug-ins around. I have been using this machine exclusively for pipe welding of all sizes of...

I heard of one guy who had a hard time starting his in the cold weather but there may have been an update to it since. Very interested in how these machines turn out. Maybe some 798 guys that have used them could chime in a bit...

btw, Cruizer I tried to send you a pm regarding that...

Ok here come what some of you might think as bad 7018 welding practices, but...

In the really cold of winter like -20C and below some Rig Weldors didn't used to use a rod oven if the job didn't require it. New boxes were opened, used and immediately put into sealed rod containers. Very...

More hearsay: This winter I ran across a fellow working in Ft St John who had got ahold of one when his pro300 was in for repairs. He was very happy with it, bought it and kept the pro300 as a backup. Mentioned that it seemed to have way more arc force when fabbing and could run a 1/4 7018 way down...

Haha well you got me there. I don't know which hoops you will have to jump through to land working here but I do know there are a few guys who have done it. I think it may have been brought up here before as well as on the AWS site. I believe a good start would be the Union halls. Short of working...
