PS: Do not make a welding table with a 1/8" top! It will warp into junk with minimal heat application. The welder weighs only 15 pounds and comes with a shoulder strap, making it quite easy to carry. It is best for hobbyists because you can carry it anywhere due to its lightweight. The Century 125 appears to be a discontinued model, according to the Lincoln/Century manuals site, and should be cheaper, for that reason. The Titanium Easy Flux 125 Amp welder is, without a doubt, one of the best when it comes to portability. Its gonna get real aggrevating on his 15 amp circuit everytime he turns the heat up too much, hell kick the breaker. Use the smallest diameter wire possible for shieled or 75/25 gas mix. For 1/8' or less youll be find but no extension cords, plug directly in for best results. Save until you can buy a 140 amp or better with Mig conversion possibility. To weld 3/16' or 1/4' on a 120v circuit, youll need a 20 amp circuit. In addition, a 90 day warranty with prepaid shipping to a repair centre, a 6' gun cable, and no apparent gas conversion possibility make this a poor investment, even at the low price. Why the welder would be affected by the minimal voltage drop of a #8 or #6 25' cord, I don't know. The manual specifically says "Do not use an extension cord with this welder", and also advises against altering the power input cord. Set-up is easy for gasless flux-cored welding. The Lincoln Invertec V205 - T AC / DC welder weighs 33 pounds and will TIG weld steel, stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum. This eliminates the need for gas and regulators that normal MIG welders require. I’m so excited and looking forward to hobby purchasing welding machine HELP.Lowe’s Century 125 or Habor Freight titanium easy flux 125 please forgive me I know this is bare entry level and hope “not” to offend veteran welders here just need some positive directions I could go up $150 more if there is a major positive factor.this would be home hobby, my 1st project making welding table as I have 11gauge 2X2,14 gauge 1X1 and table top 1/8 and also just as important to me what gauge extension cord may I use 25’ ft ,I truly thank any and everyone’s inputI would avoid the Titanic inverter for a number of reasons, but you have disqualified it, by saying that you need a 25' extension cord. The Flux 125 Welder is a versatile flux core arc welder (FCAW) specifically designed to use self-shielding flux-cored welding wire.
