One of the first places beginning welders go for a new machine is the used welder listings at Craig's List where they check out used stick welders.
The basic stick welders

Is a buzz box AC or DC?
All “Buzz Boxes”
are AC only
.
What is AMP in welding?
The rate of flow of electrons moving in a circuit
. It refers to how fast electricity is moving, if at all. The number of amps produced by the welding machine determines the amount of heat available to melt the electrode and the workpiece. See also Ampere.
What is a Lincoln buzz box?
Product Description. AC225, 60Hz
Arc welder
, broad welding amperage range of 40A to 225A, versatile use, designed for operation with metals 16-gauge & heavier, powerful welder, smooth AC Arc & can be used with a wide variety of metals, including steel, cast iron & stainless steel.
What is an arc pig?
Briefly, the Arc Pig is
a Tesla coil that draws its power from the weld current
, and is inserted inline with welding cables. It is recommended to keep the cable length between it and the electrode holder to less than 8 feet, so the unit has bumpers on it that allow it to be dragged on the shop floor.
Who owns Buzzbox?
But in previous interviews, Buzzbox founder
Rod Vandenbos
says he came up with the idea for the product after seeing his young daughter sip a fruit cocktail out of a juicebox.
How do I know what amp to weld at?
The specific amperage to be used depends primarily on
the diameter of the electrode
. For example, an eighth in diameter electrode welds great between 75 and 125 amps. Whereas a 5/32 diameter electrode can weld optimally at up to 220 amps.
How many amps does it take to weld 1 inch Steel?
| For wire size Multiply by Ex. using 1/8 inch ( 125 amps ) | .045 inch 1 inch per amp 1 x 125 = 125 ipm |

How thick can a 225 amp welder weld?
If the iron sheet is thicker than
16 gauge
, you'll have enough problems to cut through. But the Lincoln AC 225 helped me solve the problem. Because where other welders lose their touch, this one is just getting started on its workability. You can easily penetrate 16 gauge and more.
How many amps is a 6011 Rod?
| Diameter Flat amps Overhead amps | 1/8 90 140 80 130 | 5/32 110 160 120 150 | 3/16 160 195 140 – 180 | 7/32 190 250 |

What is a arc stabilizer?
Abstract: A welding arc stabilizer including
a source of high voltage and a switch for switching the source of high voltage across the electrode
and the workpiece in the event the arc rectifies. The high voltage is switched across the electrodes within the completion of the half cycle in which rectification occurred.
What does an arc pig do?
Pushbutton strikes eliminate scratch starts and tungsten contamination
. TIG aluminum with any AC welder.
What is high frequency start in welding?
With high frequency start, you can just get close to your metal –
1/8′′ to 1/4′′
– click your trigger or step on your foot pedal, and the high frequency start in the machine will jump from the tungsten to the metal to start your arc so you can weld.
Do buzz balls need to be refrigerated?
BuzzBallz
should be refrigerated after opening if it's
not finished in one sitting. We do not recommend storing BuzzBallz in hotter temperatures because they are made with natural juices and creams.
