- I bought a new Lincoln Electric MIG Pak Welder 140, this is my review and testing of the unit. Tried out the flux core and the MIG, loving this welder so far even tho I'm not that great of a welder.
Here is a follow up video since I set up the machine for MIG welding incorrectly:

I was going to recommend changing the polarity also. I'm pretty sure that is your problem.
I have to disagree with your comment. The Lincoln brand is a "high end" brand. It's definitely on par or a step above Hobart. The 140 might not be a high end welder but neither is a Hobart Handler 140.
I swear, most welding machines had built-in rock music...when you run the welder...music comes on.
Only made 28 seconds.and your comment between Lincoln and Hobart pretty much told me what I needed to know about your knowledge of welders.
Keep 1 thing in mind push gas and drag slag. You want to keep the gas in front of your weld to help cool the weld and keep the slag in back of your weld to keep it out of your weld.
I didn't see you swap the wire to reverse the polarity if you never did that then there is your problem I'm thinking.
Check your polarity when changing wire type.
You need to switch the polarity when going from flux to mig if you haven't already. You should be fine on that thickness.
You have to change the polarity on the machine when you switch from mig to flux. You did not do that in this video.
Pretty sure you didn't switch the polarity
Great review Andrew. It is best to follow the chart in the inside of the door panel to ensure that you have the right polarity, wire speed and voltage output. As the previous commenter said, the problem with your MIG weld may be the polarity setting. Flux-Cored is DC negative and MIG DC positive.
Good videos for guys like me. I learned how to stick weld in high school ('67) but haven't welded much since. I used to be a good welder. I bought one of these about a month ago. Still learning but I have been building square tube shelving for storage. My welds aren't real pretty but they seem to be strong.
Agreed!! Just picked up the MIG Pro today, and I went with Mig welding from flux core, and forgot to switch polarity. What a difference the switch over made, sounded perfect, and the weld looked beautiful!!
Good video. I just bought this unit also. I have never welded before in my life. Practice, practice and more practice. But so far I'm liking the capabilities of this machine for home use.
I just bought this to weld 16 gauge square tubing and it did a very damn good job. Money well spent, runs off my lincoln 305 generator too!
Great video. I'm new to welding and learned a lot about the machine and wire welding in general. I have been looking at this one for a while and think I'll get it to replace my cheap one. Thanks again
Nice welder, brand name, too. Take care of it and you will have a welder for lots of years. Congrats!
The Lincoln 140 is a little hoss! I love mine i bought it for using it portable and has worked very well, get it setup with straight co2 and you will get better penetration with mig, co2 makes a hotter arc, nice video and enjoy your new machine, keep practicing!
Lincoln makes some of the best machines out there. They make a 140 & 180 specifically for the big box stores in Canada like the Home Depot's & Canadian Tire stores that are good starter machines for home use. If you want a step up you can get the 140c & 180c which are sold at the welding/gas stores. The big difference is they have unlimited voltage position setting and industrial drive roll. The other machines only have 5 positions for the voltage and I think some plastic parts for the drive roll.
when welding flux core or using gas, the sound of weld will tell you more about what you doing wrong than anything else. that damn music.
