Just ordered this today as my first welder thanks to you, doing some 16 gauge floor pan patches in a jeep and then using it to build an angle iron kitchen table. I’ll let you know how it runs!

I went to welding school a couple years back and my Instructor told me about small machines like these and I’m going to buy one soon for repairs and stuff but I see people saying they wouldn’t trust it to weld past a certain thickness and although I agree but there’s also something called beveling and you can weld multiple passes on it and it will be super strong

I have a high end Lincoln welder but the Titanium is catching my attention for various reasons. Is lightweight, very good for jobs outside the shop, being 120 volts makes it user friendly. I wish it would handle the larger 10 pound spools.

You can always pick up some petroleum jelly at the store as well. Cheaper than tip dip, and works well.

Ok then. I bought a Titanium Flux welder and jumped right into it. I went to the local metal supply store and he let me pick from his trash bin getting lots of scrap metal I can practice on. I got a helmet, gloves, and 1 million other things, including nozzle gel and spatter spray. Got out there this morning and started welding. came in the house for lunch and if you’ve ever seen a crab boil, well that was me, the crab. I didn’t wear long sleeves. In fact I was wearing a T-shirt, AKA wife beater and I paid dearly for it. But it’s a good lesson learned. Practice is on hold right now.!😊

I have had mine for about 8 months now and so far it's been awesome and I ma excited that I have a high chance of having mine for a good amount of time

Literally have seen guys weld up to 1/2 inch plate with one it's way underrated

Welded up my tandem trailer in a field. Drove out with a genny and she works great. The 13lbs is awesome. Well worth the money for backyard repairs, tinkering etc. Wouldn't weld up a roll cage with it though. I've done 1/4 no problem.

Btw another good little tip, keep your MiG gun line as straight as possible when feeding the wire so it has a easier time getting through without messing up the inner liner

Based on all your great instructions I've just bought the 125 on sale today at HF. Thanks for the heads up about wire and safety and other accessories I bought as well. Hardest thing to find was the nozzle gel - finally found it at a real welding store in town. Have never welded before but have some things to tack in place on my steel trailer and some other things to mend around the garage. I figure for what it cost to pay someone to fix this I bought everything I need to do it myself for years to come. Thanks much for your instructions. Hope I don't burn down my garage.

Good overview. For a $60 difference at the time of this writing, this machine also seems far superior than the HF Chicago Electric Flux 125, which is their lowest priced offering.

I also have had mi e 3 years and love it I went through 18 lbs of wire and no problems if it quit to..orrow I would buy another one

[christiangarcia]

Best video instruction I have ever seeing.

[fromthebackofmymind]

WOW LOOK!!! Look how different the arc is from this Titanium Inverter welder compared to the Chicago Electric 125 Flux core.

[RG-wyol]

Thanks you sir for making this video I will be purchasing one today because of your honest opinion on this equipment.

[chessmith]

Excellent video! Your comments were straight to the point and very clear, UNLIKE many reviewers.
I'm going to look up all your other videos !

[slqgcef]

Great demo, Im a beginner, cant wait to start.

[DougBittinger]

Excellent! I'm thinking about getting into welding, have no experience with an arc welder. You are the first video maker I've seen (And I've seen quite a few) that tells how to load the wire into the machine. Thank you. Also the 15/20 amp circuit requirement is very helpful: my shop is on a 15 amp breaker, but it's wired with 12 gauge so it can handle 20 amps.

Welded up some stuff with this welder. My biggest issue was that it was my second welder replacing a Chicago Electric one. Burned up the nozzle part of the gun. Replacement is a pain and new gun is difficult to find and relatively expensive. Just purchased another cheaper 110v that also does stick. Hit box…..
