Here's some info for solid core wire that you can use when you have a machine that displays amps instead of wire speed : 1. Material thickness determines amperage. As a guideline, each .001 inch of material thickness requires 1 amp of output: .125 inch = 125 amps. 2. Select proper wire size, according to amperage. Since you don't want to change wire, select one for your most commonly used thicknesses. 30-130 amps: .023 inch 40-145 amps: .030 inch 50-180 amps: .035 inch 3. Set the voltage. Voltage determines height and width of the bead. If no chart, manual or specifications are available for setting the correct voltage, you can try this: While one person welds on scrap metal, an assistant turns down the voltage until the arc starts stubbing into the workpiece. Then, start welding again and have an assistant increase the voltage until the arc becomes unstable and sloppy. A voltage midway between these two points provides a good starting point. There is a relationship between arc voltage and arc length. A short arc decreases voltage and yields a narrow, ropey bead. A longer arc (more voltage) produces a flatter, wider bead. Too much arc length produces a very flat bead and the possibility of undercut. 4. Set the wire feed speed. Wire speed controls amperage as well as the amount of weld penetration. A speed that's too high can lead to burn-through. If a manual or weld specification sheet is not available, use the multipliers in the following chart to find a good starting point for wire feed speed. For example, for .030-inch wire, multiply by 2 inches per amp to find the wire feed speed in inches per minute (ipm). Wire size Multiply by Ex. using 1/8 inch (125 amps) .023 inch 3.5 inches per amp 3.5 x 125 = 437.5 ipm .030 inch 2 inches per amp 2 x 125 = 250 ipm .035 inch 1.6 inches per amp 1.6 x 125 = 200 ipm
That’s true, but it doesn’t work linearly after 0.125” material thickness. The changes become much smaller. It’s very odd for a MiG welder to display amps, because it’s not an amp dependent process. It should display wire feed speed and voltage. This machine is improperly designed in software. You need to know the wire feed speed, not the amperage. I would not recommend this machine, particularly for beginners who don’t understand these processes. Both of these machines have set-up problems. Additionally, of course, amperage in stick welding is solely dependent on the diameter of the stick. The material thickness has nothing to do with it.
Jack Long I’d need to know what you intend to weld. Stick welding is a good process, just harder to master, and extremely dirty, that is, a lot of unhealthy fumes are produced.
I was really looking for a review about the quality of welds you can produce with a Hitbox MIG welder. I've never heard of Hitbox before, but see they are Chinese made, so I'm always cautious about if their stuff works well. I've been stung with Chinese stuff before being poor. Over here in the UK, the most popular makes people buy is Sealey and Clark. So I'd like to hear from anyone here what the quality of the welds from a Hitbox machine is and do these machines get common faults or do they die on you after a few years. Those kind of details. Thanks.
Hello Chris: was saying great explanation about the setting and differences of MIG WELDING; I purchased mine about 2 years ago, took a class and used my machine instead of the schools unit, it worked great; however, only used STICK and then COVID19 took over; i'm back again using the unit and I can't get it to weld using WIRE, I will follow up on your instructions (they are very good) and send you some feed back; I'm fabricating a License bracket for my Karmann Ghia Volkswagen and I don't want to make new holes on the body, will keep you posted, the wife insists on serving dinner and i'm using the dinner table.
Hi chris, Thank you for this review, it is great! I went through the comments and noticed you mentioned no aluminum capabilities, I wish to ask about that: Assuming i wish to MIG weld aluminum with argon, what is the limiting factor on this machine? Is the problem the lack of control over wire speed? I do understand no spoolgun can be connected, but as i understand it is still possible to MIG weld Al without it (Many here do it with the Jasic MIG200 if you are familiar with it). As you may have noticed- I'm no MIG welder. Thanks!
I just got my new tig 200! - it violently exploded and caught fire after running 1 6010x 3/32 and 1&1/2 7018x 1/8 rods over 20 minutes :( very disappointed in this welder 😩

Thanks so much! I bought one of these mostly for mig/stick a few years ago. Wanted to try out TIG, and couldn't figure out the gas connection.

Does the fan turn on? Do the lights at the front turn on? Have you set the welder to mig? Have you put the ground clamp on the metal? Those are a few things I'd need to know first.
Looks like you may have gotten a defective machine. Not sure how adventurous you are but I have seen one or two that had a little plug disconnected inside. Do at your own risk though because there are some decent sized capacitors inside that can do some serious harm if you're not careful
That's a real bummer. I know they're really good with replacements though. This machine is such a nice machine to work with. Too bad you might have to wait a little longer. Where do you live?

hi for the hitbox 220 digital what size circuit breaker is good to use
200a 220 volt
I use a 50amp breaker but I'm sure a 20 or 30 amp would work.
@@ChrisOfAllTrades thank you
Hii, can it weld aluminum?
No
