![]() The gun switch tests good (ohmmeter across the connector that plugs to the chassis socket), and the wire feed button on the control panel feeds fine, but now the gun won't make it feed. The feed motor is plenty strong but the stall seems to have fried the trigger's relay inside the welder. What I couldn't see from out at the far end of the 6 ft gun cable was the wire had stalled then pushed out as a tangle at the feed roller. Ok, I did that.īut it stopped feeding after a moment and wouldn't resume. Instructions said stretch out the gun in a straight line then hold down the trigger until the wire comes out the tip. A new toy!Īnybody else have experience with Amico gear?Īmico MIG-130A, 130 amp dual voltage flux welderĭavePhotos soon. Now I need to set it up and see if it works as well as the company's other welders that have decent reviews. It uses the same tips and nozzle as my HF welder and I see repair parts on Ebay, so there is some support available in addition to what the vendor offers. I ordered one Wednesday, it arrived Friday. When I saw the price on this dual-voltage welder drop from $189 to $149 last week I thought why not. ![]() Free return to Amazon until 1-31-2022, four year fix/replace warranty (including shipping) for $29.95, from an Amazon affiliate who confirmed their coverage steps in if the vendor disappears. The specs seem about as un-credible as HF's, but it does seem to be a suitable replacement for the unobtainable HF-125. 30 amp slo-blow breaker (nobody has that in their home!) required for full output on 110 volt input but also 130 amp output from a 220v welder receptacle, which I have at the ranch - so this may take the place of my MIG-180 for some lightweight ranch projects.Īlso claimed 60% duty cycle at 130 amps output. I went back to an Amazon welder I had seen with similar specs plus dual voltage. It looked to also be handy for light projects at the ranch.īut now HF says no Titanium 125's in the stores and none from mailorder. I was going to buy the HF Titanium Flux 125. I need some light welding done at my house in town but no 240v power there. This will be my go to machine for tacking, small fab jobs, and buddy repair jobs where I need portability. And it is quite possibly the smoothest flux core machine I've ran. It is no heavier than a case of beer (but physically about the size of a 12 pack). If anyone is looking for a small 110 machine I cannot recommend this highly enough. 035 wire as well but I'm thinking it's better suited for the. I may pick up some Hobart 21B as well because it comes in 2 lb spools. At the same time that is a good thing as well because it forces me to keep fresh wire in the machine. The only down side to the machine is that it does not take 10 lb spools. The spatter is honestly not much more than solid wire mig with this Lincoln wire. It's rated for 3/16" but I think with proper technique it could easily do 1/4" in a single pass. Man it runs it buttery smooth with little to no spatter! I'm very impressed with the heat output. I didn't even try the Vulcan wire that came with it. ![]() And I am NOT disappointed! This little guy is an inverter machine that runs on 120v only. After reading reviews on the HF Titanium Easy Flux 125, I took the leap. I wanted a small light machine that I could leave dedicated to flux core for tacking, small repairs, and quick fab jobs. That is pretty much all I run in my suitcase welder with my engine drive. However, I find myself reaching for self shielded flux core most of the time for quick repairs. I stick weld, mig weld, and do flux core in my shop.
