Hello all,
Im getting increasingly confused with stick selection for the welder I just got. I already bought some 1/8th inch 6011 and 6013 stick for it, thinking that would be good general purpose rod to have, but after reading a bunch of posts about low OCV with inverter welders Im thinking I may not have bought the correct stuff. Should I expcect to have problems stick welding with the thermal arc 185 with those rods? Or how about 6010?. Should I run those AC or DC? If so, what are the proper rods for use with a welder like this? Aplication for the stick welding will be mostly repairs of farm equipment.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Sam
