Greetings-cannot buy 6010 in this area in ten pound packages. So I am wondering what the difference is between running
I have a Century home shop AC/DC welder 250amp... I run 1/8 and/or 5/32"
Thanks so much for the info. My welder would be comparable to yours, only it is a Hobart. Have yet to try 6010. Jim.
applications;
6010 requires a high open-circuit-voltage so it is not suitable for low end hobby machines. It requires DC to work properly. 6011 is much more forgiving and can work on AC.
6011 is an agressive that gets good penetration and can weld through light rust, paint and dirt.
6010 is 6011's mean cousin that just got out of prison after serving 10 years for armed robbery.Ernie Leimkuhler wrote: snip

If you sift through my posts over the last 8 years you will see a disturbing trend towards the absurd.
Ernie, everyone
Can you run 6011 with a "buzz-box" (a $60 new - an ultra-cheap tranformer only and nothing else AC welding machine).
Want to burn some rods and proper welder packed away - only access is to buzz-box. Just want to rip along a few inches of V-prep.
Even with 6011, would you get rod sticking to work when trying to press down into root when using buzz-box?

is it like ? the older I get the wisor I was.
I think the best 6011 available for small AC home shop welders is Lincoln fleetweld 180 brand. It was the first electrode developed for small limited AC imput farm welders about 45 years ago...this rod just burns like a fuse and it won't snuff out in a tight short arc situation, as do other brands of

The older I get the better I used to be!!!!!
