Going back to the 110vt stick welder topic..I was installing some powered chain hoists over the last few days on existing chainhoist tracks and needed to weld up some cable supports and whatnot out of 2x
1/4" L steel. Was working ok with my Weldpack 100 until I ran out of wire..(damn..thought there was more on the spool..sigh)...and as I was working on a manlift 15' off the floor..a big machine (customer has several) was out of the question. So he dug out an Airco "MiniArc 130", 110vt stick welder. With 3/32 6013..that little bastard was a Pleasure to use. Must be inverter based as its quite light, but Airco has long been out of business.Anyone know who made this welder? Has an amps dial on the front, and an off/on switch on the back..and thats all the controls it has. DC welder
Bout 5x6x20" long, black front, maybe red underpaint which leads me to think Lincoln..but didnt think Airco had any rebadged Lincolns.
There is a picture of one here...
Id LOVE to find one, or an equivelant.
And yes..it had more than enough oomph to turn a stick of 3/32 bright red when I stuck the rod in the puddle a little too deep and was getting very nice penetration in the 1/4" L and the 8" I-beam I was welding them to. So a (good) 110vt stick welder will suit my purposes nicely.
