6011 help

[aarolar]

Guys I bought some 6011s to use on less than perfect joints I've got and I feel like it's running super cold any thought. This is at 120 amps electrode positive it's very cold looking and **** to start.

What welder are you using? Some welders just don't have the voltage to run 6010, or 6011 very well.

Everlast 160

It did a little better on the other side I slowed down on my pauses and let it burn in more.

That looks pretty darn good! I like Hobart's 335A 6011. It seems to stack real well for me.

You don't say what size rods you have. I assume 1/8? Welds look pretty nice for 6011.

Yes TSC 1/8 6011s

Would there be any advantage to running them on the 6010 port on this machine?

That's where they SHOULD be running. any 10/11 rod which is cellulose flux.

Gotcha makes sense now considering the way it was acting.
