Hi! Nice review! I got the same machine and love it. Being an electrician I had to test the unit to how mutch amps it does really delivers compared to what the display is showing so while my son was welding, I clamped the whip lead with a klein cl800 clamp-on meter. The results were right on! The only thing I would add is that on 120v, it does not go well over 90 amps, the machine will show over 90, but it’s not giving it. If you want it to be precise and powerfull, use 240v. Some other brand I tested, Yeswelder I believe, had a technologie that adjusted the readings on 120v so you’d get the amps that it was set to, but I found the deko to be less stiky and better machine overall. 120v works well but you got to keep in mind the amps doesn’t go much over 95-96 amps, and display is off a bit. But on 240v it does go to a solid 160 amps and the display is spot on! Hope it helps.

Your bead would've turn out better in every way if you'd did one thing differently. Any time you're running a process that produces slag, you use a 5-15 degree drag angle on your rod or gun if it's flux-core. You gotta stay in front of your slag and it flattens out your bead, and gives more penetration With other processes that do not produce slag like mig or Tig you use a push angle. Just a tip from an old hand. Overall a good video and I'm looking at one of them little machines. Thank you for the review.God bless you brother.

Great video! Glad to see that you and all the rest who have purchased this machine are happy with it. Not too often these days when one can score a real bargain. One word of advice though is that you should be using a "drag" technique when stick welding, never "push".. The old saying of when it leaves slag, drag, still holds true. This will produce a more sound weld deposit. This also holds true for flux-cored welding.

My guy… you said you went to fast. Nice and shiny weld but not to sure about the strength of it. Yes you connected the metal but as an “apprentice” welder for bridge welding, and not to dog you out, that weld was not great nor did you say it was. So I’d like to see a video of you slowing down as you lay down your weld and penetrate more than just the surface of that metal. Also some close up view of finish product. In my opinion you did throw me off when you started talking about how other people usually just trying to sell the product and pump up the item or what ever. Just sounds like a cop out for your intentions. It’s a single opinion but if I’m going to buy this product to practice for tests out of my garage I need to see a better weld. For the length of that bead I’m sure your could have used a full rod. Maybe I suck or maybe I have beasts in welding to teach me. I just want to see an honest review. This I feel you were honest as far as your skills go but that did really say much about the machine at all. (Inmyopinion)

As in car exhausts? You can weld metal that thin but honestly an arc welder is not the tool for the job.. It will be extremely hard to keep the arc going on steel that thin without blowing holes in it. I rebuilt a whole car body with an arc welder back in the 80's because thats all I had... But it was very difficult. Then a few years back I used my first mig welder.. OMG what a difference! Even a small MIG running flux core wire will weld as thin as body panels and up to 1/8th thick. Get the mig dialled in for the thickness you're welding and its almost as easy as using a hot glue gun. Thats what you need. I have 40 years of amateur welding experience.

BEST video ive seen yet on this product, Thanks for yer time and help!
Hi! Nice review! I got the same machine and love it. Being an electrician I had to test the unit to how mutch amps it does really delivers compared to what the display is showing so while my son was welding, I clamped the whip lead with a klein cl800 clamp-on meter. The results were right on! The only thing I would add is that on 120v, it does not go well over 90 amps, the machine will show over 90, but it’s not giving it. If you want it to be precise and powerfull, use 240v. Some other brand I tested, Yeswelder I believe, had a technologie that adjusted the readings on 120v so you’d get the amps that it was set to, but I found the deko to be less stiky and better machine overall. 120v works well but you got to keep in mind the amps doesn’t go much over 95-96 amps, and display is off a bit. But on 240v it does go to a solid 160 amps and the display is spot on! Hope it helps.

Your bead would've turn out better in every way if you'd did one thing differently. Any time you're running a process that produces slag, you use a 5-15 degree drag angle on your rod or gun if it's flux-core. You gotta stay in front of your slag and it flattens out your bead, and gives more penetration With other processes that do not produce slag like mig or Tig you use a push angle. Just a tip from an old hand. Overall a good video and I'm looking at one of them little machines. Thank you for the review.God bless you brother.

I've had one for a little over a yr now on my farm and it's been great, welding everything from steel, stainless, cast iron, it does it.. the tiny issue for me the one-off switch is tricky cause of the wires in the back, you kinda have to fiddle around to find it..
Great video! Glad to see that you and all the rest who have purchased this machine are happy with it. Not too often these days when one can score a real bargain. One word of advice though is that you should be using a "drag" technique when stick welding, never "push".. The old saying of when it leaves slag, drag, still holds true. This will produce a more sound weld deposit. This also holds true for flux-cored welding.

My guy… you said you went to fast. Nice and shiny weld but not to sure about the strength of it. Yes you connected the metal but as an “apprentice” welder for bridge welding, and not to dog you out, that weld was not great nor did you say it was. So I’d like to see a video of you slowing down as you lay down your weld and penetrate more than just the surface of that metal. Also some close up view of finish product. In my opinion you did throw me off when you started talking about how other people usually just trying to sell the product and pump up the item or what ever. Just sounds like a cop out for your intentions. It’s a single opinion but if I’m going to buy this product to practice for tests out of my garage I need to see a better weld. For the length of that bead I’m sure your could have used a full rod. Maybe I suck or maybe I have beasts in welding to teach me. I just want to see an honest review. This I feel you were honest as far as your skills go but that did really say much about the machine at all. (Inmyopinion)

How well does it do on a 15 amp breaker? 20 amp wall circuits are far less common if you want to take a small unit off the property to use, and the reason I ask is I just got an even smaller unit from Simder and this dang thing is a breaker poppin mama. Does wonderful work at 220 volts but can hardly get through a whole 3/32 rod on 110 even on a 20 amp circuit. If this is a better unit , I am gonna return the Simder machine.

I did notice that when I tried to run 7018 at a proper setting , it will pop a 20 amp brkr after a while, but won't if you turn the amps down. However , this is so low that starting and keeping an arc is difficult. Ran out of 3/32 6013 which would require less power but will see if that rod is more ideal when I get some more. BTW , got some Lincoln Excalibur 3/32 7018 and it's awesome. The slag comes off like it was 6013.

As in car exhausts? You can weld metal that thin but honestly an arc welder is not the tool for the job.. It will be extremely hard to keep the arc going on steel that thin without blowing holes in it. I rebuilt a whole car body with an arc welder back in the 80's because thats all I had... But it was very difficult. Then a few years back I used my first mig welder.. OMG what a difference! Even a small MIG running flux core wire will weld as thin as body panels and up to 1/8th thick. Get the mig dialled in for the thickness you're welding and its almost as easy as using a hot glue gun. Thats what you need. I have 40 years of amateur welding experience.
