## Questions & Answers

**Q: Replacing body panels and other sheet metal repairs on Mustang. Do I need gas for this or will this welder handle the job without it?**
A: You can run this machine with flux-core wire, and it does that well, however for thin sheet metal it's better to invest in a tank of gas. Flux core leaves a nasty layer of slag that you'll constantly need to chip off, plus it has a tendency to either burn through or warp thin gauge metals if you try to run a constant bead. If you're 
dead set on going without the gas you can weld sheet metal by just making a series of tack welds until you eventually cover the entire joint. I personally would not want to weld sheet metal without gas, but if you have a lot of patience and you're careful, it can be done.

**Q: Is this welder D.C. Output?**
A: The DC output of the welder is 35-88 amps.

**Q: How long are the welding leads?**
A: They are 8' long from machine to the tip of the torch.

**Q: Can I weld 4130 ChromeMoly tube on an airplane?**
A: Sure but you will need to pickup a bottle of 75/25 argon/co2 mix

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality you see when you open the box
*by M***E on April 17, 2013*

I have been in the welding business for 40 years. When my wife told me she wanted a welder for her birthday and wanted me to teach her how to weld for her arts and crafts I had to decide one thing. What kind of machine would be best for a beginner ? I started looking at cheap Chinese welders and my experience told me they are not built to last. They have crummy rollers that won't hold up, they will make your weld wire look like a birds nest. Then I looked at their duty cycle. This is the amount of time your machine can run without resting to cool down. (I told you I have done this for 40 years) The cheap machines all max out at about 10%. You all know that means if you want to spend an hour welding, your machine is shut down 54 minutes in that hour to cool down. I know Mama is not going to be welding one straight hour, you have to do more prep work in welding than actual weld time and that lets your machine cool down and be ready when you are. This machine has a 20% duty cycle and that is rare in this price range. Plenty of power for any home use.I chose this Lincoln K2185-1 because Lincoln is a company I have trusted my whole working life. Lincoln Welders have been headquartered in Cleveland Ohio for over 100 years and their quality is known world wide. Lincoln Manufactures over 90 different models for any type of welding need. As I said earlier, this is not a high production machine. This unit plugs in anywhere to 110 v. 20 amps. and works great on light gauge steel. If you want to weld material thicker than 1/8" you should look elsewhere, but if you want to do auto body work or light gauge sheet metal this machine is awesome. You can weld with flux core wire or use shielding gas and hard wire for a better looking weld using the inexpensive regulator that comes with this unit. Two spools of wire are also included with a hand held welding mask, chipping hammer/wire brush and some extra tips. For hobby use around the house or farm this is a great welder. Amazon had a better price than I could find locally

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice unit with plenty of power.
*by H***R on April 21, 2011*

I bought this unit to do some auto body panel replacement welding. I already have a 220 volt mig that I have used for over 10 years. It has a hard time with light welding tasks like sheetmetal. I figured this unit would be good for small welding tasks and is a good brand name in the welding world. The unit came well packed. I was not happy that the gas regulator did not have a gauge, thus making it hard to know when you were near the end of your bottle. I did end up adding a gauge since this would drive me nuts. The reason I am giving it full stars is based on its performance. It really surprised me to its ability to weld thicker material and still run on just 110 power. I love that I can plug it in anywhere and weld away on just about any size material with ease. And as predicted, it does dial down to be very good with 18 gauge sheetmetal. I wish it had a infinite dial for power output but I am able to find one of the 4 settings that will work for the job at hand. I have plugged into a variety of outlets and have not popped a breaker yet. The main thing is that I had always viewed portable welders as wimpy and for people that were too cheap to buy a full size welder but now realize that this unit has enough power to be my only welder for household and hobby use. I was tempted to buy a no-name unit from some other companies in order to get the infinite power dial for heat but am happy with what I chose. I am sure this unit will last and it is very smooth. The whole reason I was buying a second welder was for that smooth reliable operation at low heat settings, and this unit did that and much more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was able to dial in the wire speed and the heat settings really quick.
*by R***I on September 19, 2016*

I purchased this to work on a project on my Jeep. After reading all the reviews and looking high and low I found it here for a great price. I must say the simple controls and the nice instruction book gives you all you need to get started quickly. I know how to weld so but and very out of practice and with this welder I was able to dial in the wire speed and the heat settings really quick and get my project done quick and with good welds. I have welded to my Jeep frame some 1/8 plate and fixed some rust on the tub so that would be 1/16th. It was able to weld both very well. I would buy this machine again if I had to.
