Isn't 6010 for DC only? I'm using an AC welder. Is 85 amps enough for 1/8th Rod? It must be very difficult to start an ARC? I have a hard enough time with 3/32 at 100 AMPs without it sticking. My welder doesn't have any pre-start, or extra current boost durring the initial ARC -- would I need to pre-heat the tubing, or do I just need to practice striking an ARC at 85 AMPS with 1/8th rod more?Originally posted by 76GMC1500
1/8th inch 6010 at 85 amps, maybe a little less, should get you pretty close to burning though. 6010 is the deepest penetrating rod. 1/6th inch 7018 will look better and with a little more amperage could penetrate just as well.
Thanks!
