well that was for the harbor freight 151 flux/mig welder it was for a 220 circuit so i just bought the ceap fluxcore welder from them the "easy mig" it was 99 dollars on sale here. i just want to weld exhaust stuff/ misc. fab. i tried it and it seems to be doing its job i think if i can find a dedicated 110 in the house i will be more impressed.. i didnt know the link wasnt working i guess thats why no one wrote anything? im used to "get a rope the link doesnt work" around here.

Re: Welder help please
ya ive just been practicing with the flux lately i thought the only big difference between flux and mig is that flux leaves more slag and the settings are more crucial?
have any of you welded stainless exhaust with flux? i want to weld my stainless exhaust together and i heard that flux will work but be shitty anyone with experience? also what settings should i run for stainless vs. others how do you know where to set that ----.
my welders pretty limited just min and max min(60amps) max (80amps) and a wire speed of 1-10 help me guys i dont know what settings to use
