Hobart stickmate LX

[Lasgambler]

Long, long ago. I was a pipe welder in LA. We had to cap welds with 7018. I remember that if you run enough amperage and keep really pushing the rod in as you weld, "it seems to help make the slag come to the top". If you are running this rod right the slag will peel right up in almost one piece as the bead cools.

I understand that..but what Im saying is that TSC is the one that will discontinue the AC/DC models...NOT HOBART stopping production of them

My local TSC doesnt carry the Hobart HH210 NOW..but they did..why they stopped beats me but HOBART isnt about to stop making that MIG welder

In this day and age I don't know why a lot of things are happening... Maybe they didn't want to carry DC rods so they got rid of the DC welders also....

Maybee they will come out with an oem 'farmhand' ac/dc box of their own branding?
