Rated 5 out of 5 by Fishgrouse from Great welder I have been welding for less than a year as a hobby. I have taken one class at the local votech. My welds using my flux core machine were ugly and difficult to lay down. I was a little better with my stick machine but like the flux core it created a lot of smoke. I was going to buy the Hobart 140 but decided to just go all in on a 240 volt welder. This thing is awesome. I can actually make welds like it looks like I know what I’m doing. I’m working on my old brush hog deck that requires joining parts that are not the same thickness. With the flux core I was blowing holes in 16 gage when trying to tie it to 1/8” plate. With the Hobart 190 it seems I can always find the right settings to make it work. The settings given under the spool cover seem to be pretty much spot on for joining similar thickness materials but I usually back off to the next lower setting to join plate with sheet metal and it works fine if you keep the heat focused on the thicker part. I had an electrician install a 240 volt outlet in my garage so I could stop having to run an extension cord to the dryer outlet. Very glad I went with the Hobart.

CAN THIS WELDER BE OPERATED OFF A GEERATER

Asked by: JOE L JR

Yes this unit can be powered from a generator. A 7000 watt continuous would be required to achieve max output of 190 amps and 5000 watt to achieve rated output of 130 amps.
