Ive been reading good things about the maxstar 150 on the net but before I dig into my wallet to buy one I really need to know a few crucial things.
Mainly will this burn 6011 rod ok? i heard it had problems with 6010. I dont need to use 6010 for anything. 6011 is the rod i use all the time and it must be happy using 6011.
Second. Will it work ok with 308L or 316 stainless electrodes?
bob, the happy hobby welder.
I have not used one personally, but over on sci.engr.joining.welding this unit has a great rep. Where did you hear about problems with 6010? Ernie (the welding guru :) says it is the only welder that can run on 110v and still burn 6010 and 7018 with no problems. I would think it would do equally well with 6011, but haven't heard that specifically addressed.
HTH,
Andy
