- Alright everyone thanks for joining me in 2 days video I am using the Harbor freight titanium stick 225 running it on 110 to test its capabilities I am utilizing Lincoln Electric 6010 5 p plus I'm using quarter inch plate starting with a laptoint moving to A T joint and then I'm moving on to some plate welding with a open root of 1/8 of an inch and a quarter inch thick with no land

I hope HF give you free machine I bought stick225 about 2yr ago because of your video. Now this video blown me away I didn't know 110V can handle 1/8 rod, especially 6010 that I like. You practically teach/show the max capable of Titanium welders that I don't see any on YT.
I’m a 40 year Amateure welder. My stick welds improved instantly with this new 225. Smooth and forgiving. I used to struggle with 7018 now I love it. Nice review.
I’m new to the world of welding and looking to purchase a welder for home projects. This was a great vid and extremely helpful. I have seen hundreds of videos on welding and yours is one of the best I’ve seen when it comes to an unbiased opinion. You are amazing and keep doing these vids.
Hey thanks for the comment. And the view much appreciated I will try to keep the content coming. As time permits. Thanks again.
Great video! it sure helped me learn better
Great video. 👍 😊
Another great video! I’ve wondered how the 225 would perform on 110, definitely seems to have some sort of hot start and arc force. Thanks again
Hey thanks for the comment and the view I hope this video was helpful have a great evening
Thanks man
Interesting, that's really great for 110 v. I've had a couple of other older transformer 110 stick machines and they Don't have that much power, nice job, THANKS
Sold me!!! Thank you
I really enjoyed your videos. Did you use the circle's pattern for the horizontal weld and the overhead?
Hey great question one of the things I forgot to mention in the video is when I was doing the vertical and overhead I was doing a tiny kind of scooping motion
Very impressive. I should have got it when it was cheaper.
Hey thanks for your view and your Comment much appreciated be blessed
Make a video welding with 4043 rods on aluminum at 220v lil above 85 amps
Im new to welding. 9hrs into my class, 12 weeks 3hrs a night. Im thinking i might pick up this machine. I just bought a titanium mig 170 for home. Using flux core on 110 im struggling. I do love harbor freight. Thanks for the vid. When i get this machine, whats a good rod to get when im at harbor freight. Im gonna hook up my generator and run 240 on my mig 170 and this stick 225. Thanks
I think I would feel really good about recommending some 6011. Just get comfortable going vertical and overhead. Move into some sixty thirteen and then some 7018
It would be nice to know the 110 & 220v amp input circuit requirements
Hey great question I'm running the welder off of a 20 amp outlet for 110 and my 220 outlet is rated at 50 amps I. Hope this helps thanks for your comment and question.
Im glad someone is durability testing this thing. I have one myself and i love it. How many hours do you think you have on it?
That is a great question it's really hard to say I wanna say maybe between like 50 to 60 just being realistic I do have some more content coming up where I'm going to see if I can kill it on a video I hope that helps have a great weekend
Ive wanted to do a hard use video just to show what it will do. Its honestly not a bad buy. Id buy again in a heart beat.
Excellent and informative video sir, thank you!
These open roots look like they haven't been pushed upwards hard enough. I don't know how 6010 or 6011 rods behave in this regard as these are non-existent in my area and none of welding machines support pure cellulose welding rods. If I were to test this for myself it would be either with anything that falls under 6013 type or 7015/7016/7018, 8018 or even 9018 not including stainless or special purpose rods. However, a welding machine would be running either from single phase 240V or triple phase 400V AC source, so that won't be a fair comparison anyway. Running off 110V must be awful for primary power circuits since current is at least twice as high...
I just bought mine a couple days ago put can’t find any plug to run 240v any help do I need to buy another extension cable or what ?
There should have been an Adapter in the Box with the welder
@26Fe Ironworks, What amp breaker are you using on your 110v circuit? Has the breaker ever tripped while welding on 110?
If I remember correctly I'm using 20 amp and I'm running off of a 25' extension cord
@@26feironworks79 thank you for the quick response. Your videos are great. Keep them coming!
@@elgkas9928 I have never tripped the breaker by the way
I run 6011 at 70 amps on a 20 amp breaker and no trips. I also run this thing way past the duty cycle and no issues
110v on 15A prob wont work right? How about 125v 20A?
Thanks for posting this. Nice stand you made there too! Has that welder held up in the past year?
Hey, thanks for the comment and the view.So far, the welder has held up.Great.I've had 0 issues with it granted.I know there might be a few lemons out there.But I would still feel good about recommending it.Thanks again I hope this helps
@@26feironworks79 Thank you !
Just bougt one yesterday welded aluminum
Hey, that is great news and awesome to hear. I'll try to get something out, but things have just been kind of crazy on my end. Thanks again
Can this machine weld both alluminum n metal?
Run some 3/32 6010 on 70amps. Should weld beautifully!
Hey thanks for the suggestion. I will keep my eye open for a smaller package of 6010. Thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated.
I welded 6011 1/8 on 120v and it welded great. Tiny bit cold but was totally usable and I welded on a 1/4 plate.
With 3/32 rods any type I guarantee it will work just like a big welder. Blew me away it was able to weld 1/8 rods.
I did 4 rods back to back and it was totally fine with it
Now I an going to pull the trigger on the 225 stick in my watch list Thanks foe the info. freezer'
So far, that machine has never let me down. It is for the price and my honest opinion is probably the best machine out there and it's also cheap enough. If something goes wrong, you can always go get another one.
Nice! Thanks for that. I just paid $350 with free shipping to Alaska. I think it’s going to be a blast👍🙏👋
I haven't pull the trigger but my mind already did.
Hello. I’m new to welding and just bought the titanium 125. Im confused on what kind of metal I can weld. I know not stainless or aluminum. But it says you can weld mild steel and low alloy steel. For me who’s brand new what exactly does that mean? Any steel that’s not stainless or aluminum? Also where can I buy this steel to practice? Would Home Depot have it? Lastly, how do I know what kind of steel something is? If I have a trailer I need to fix, how do I know if it’s low alloy or mild steel? Sorry I’m advance I just feel lost as I’m brand new to welding. If there’s anywhere you suggest I learn more lmk
A great question With taking on any type of a new hobby there's going to be an incredible learning curve and a lot to unpack I don't know what state you are in but if you can find a steel distributor go there and ask if you could buy remnant pieces of steel If you could find some 1/8 inch thick steel plates I would recommend starting there And go to home depot and by roles of the Lincoln
NR211. 030
Another thing to when you go to a steel supply yard just talk to somebody and tell them that you're learning how to weld and you need scrap pieces of steel too Practice on and they will probably give you more than you can chew for free Please don't be afraid to reach out if you have any more questions or if there's anything that I can help you with you're in the right place
@@26feironworks79 but what kind of steel? That’s what I’m confused about. What is considered low alloy and mid steel? Can I weld everything except for stainless, and aluminum?
@@26feironworks79 thank you so much. I’m excited to learn. So with the titanium 125 am I able to weld all types of steel except aluminum and stainless? Ofc within the thickness. 16 gauge through 3/16?
@@georgetowers5191 I'm willing to bet that your trailer frame that you need to do repairs on is made out of mild steel everything that is pretty much openly available to the general public is made out of or consists of mild steel and less otherwise specified
This is the prob I'm running into at work I only have 110 and it's always giving me problems crank it up all the way use 3 dif types of rods and it just constantly will start but will just will always cause rods to stick what am I doing wrong ???
What kind of welder is it?
@@26feironworks79 titanium 225 same one.. I know it can run at 220 but we're im using it that's not likely. Always a 110 outlet.
check is ur 110v is on a 15A this might be too low as the guys has 110v on a 20A.
Sir can you teach me the basics of stick welding?And get paid?
What type of equipment do you have?And what type of welding do you plan on doing?
Cant get it perfect either on my 15qmp breaker
Gets hot 🔥
If you can see if you could put in a 20 amp breaker with some thicker wires. If possible run mine off of 20 amps, it works great.
@@26feironworks79 wire ran to the garage is to thin to beef up the box in the garage. Gonna have to spend alot of money to run what I want out there. They ran like 10ga wire as a main from the house panel to the garage panel... was newly done when I bought the house labeled as a 200amp service installed in the garage! Lol
@@adamclark94 Hey man. I was just thinking I'm wondering if you just have a s***** breaker. Go ahead and switch out your breaker and put in a 20 amp breaker. And just try it and just keep an eye on things for the first little bit and see if that'll get you by. I hope this helps kind of
does anyone know what size generator you need to run this welder on 220v
7000 watts or bigger
@@26feironworks79 thank you know i kind of know what to look for i want to go mobil
@@craig243ful Hey If I could make a suggestion based off of personal experience I would not recommend buying a separate welder and a separate generator I would buy a engine driven welder generator combo and just By long leads I would highly recommend the Hobart champion 145 as a starting point
@@26feironworks79 im not a welder by trade. Im a heavy duty mechanic by trade and we just kind of glued metal together at work for 20 years then like 2 years ago i was like im going to really learn how to weld and after lay down pounds of metal i feel confident enough to do some side line work and by word of mouth people started asking me to do projects for them the only problem i've run into was having power if they didn't have it and couldn't bring the equipment to the house i couldn't do it if that makes sence i have a horrible time comunicating
@@craig243ful Hey that makes perfect sense and I think you are doing everything just right go with your gut check around on pricing so you don't underbid stuff and just take on smaller projects to begin with and you will do fine
Mine struggles with 7018 on 110 it doeant burn in the way id like it seems like it needs like 10 more amps or so. Got a yeawelder that goes alot higher and it burns it in better but is weaker at 70amps than the titanium
@adamclark94, what size 7018 rod are you using ?what brand?
@shermanyoung8185 3/32 mostly hobart. Some hobart rod is higher amp rated to gotta watch it. Most 7018 burn good at 80 amps which this can't hit. 70 is the low end and you will find in some situations it won't hold a arc well. Smaller rod or run 7014. Rated about the same but easier arc to hold. 6011 burn really nice and 6013
@shermanyoung8185 tried harbor freight and blue demon to. Demon is weird but runs pretty good. Also if you got a fresh pack of 7018 they will burn decent at first but don't store well even in a air tight container like what I got. Oven or buy em as you need them I guess. 7014 has been my go to rod it's awesome
You had too big of a gap on ur root or your testing phase which if u had a smaller gap it would have looked alot better
I can't believe this cheap little stick runs 6010 that well on 110/120. I wonder if the HF TIG machines would also run 6010? Is there anything fundamentally different about DC TIG vs DC stick that would cause the TIG not to run 6010?
Hey, thanks for the comment and the view much appreciated. So I do have the Vulcan proteg 165 which they have recently discontinued. And I also have the Vulcan proteg 205 I have not tested their stick welding capabilities but at some point I will also I was just a shocked to find out the capacities of that Titanium stick 225. As far as value and Bang for the buck. In my honest opinion, I feel that it is unbeatable. Thanks again, have a great weekend.
Just wanted to update that I've learned why most TIG machines cannot run a 6010 rod and none of the HF TIG machines (being inverters) cannot run 6010. Most of the older transformer TIG (huge as they are) will run 6010.
6010 simply needs more closed voltage. Meaning stable voltage during welding. When you adjust arc force that's what you are adjusting. Can either increase current or voltage. Less voltage makes arc softer
@@heliarc5186 It's not so much the closed voltage as they inductance. My little 160a stick welder runs 6010 beautifully, even as an inverter.
My 250 amp multiprocess MIG, however, can only run 6011. Even though it's a much bigger machine and can even go 30V on MIG. Just not enough inductance.
