Forgive me welding gods, for I have sinned

200-amps is a good basic Mig welder to have. I ran this weld at 224-amps, 29-volts. With Lincoln's
.030" L-56 Mig wire. You're not going to see that kind of penetration with a 120-volt Mig welder.

Shield Arc, that's one picture perfect weld you did with that Lincoln.
It's no wonder that it took 20+ hammer blows (if I remember right) to break one of those, when you did those hammer tests a couple years ago.

Well, I pulled out my unused roll of Hobart E71T-11 from off the shelf and it doesn't say AC or DC. :confused3:
So I would say to those using it on AC, if it works for you and you're happy with it, then happy welding.

If you look on the Hobart site, it looks to be listed as either SelfShield11 (for 0.045” and 1/16” wiresizes) or Fabshield21B (for the 0.030”, 0.035”, 0.045”, 1/16”, 0.068 and 5/64” wiresizes).
The datasheets for both of them say "Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN)" under "Type of current"

Yeah, like I've said before. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR POWER! :thumbsup:
