Anyone know of a stick welder that puts out more than 85 amps if attached to a 115 volt circuit? Everlast has a 140 amp welder however that rating is for 220 volts. Eventually I'll have something hooked up on 220 This same welder is good for 85 amps on 115. I have a 115 volt 100 amp welder now (AC) that does miserably with even 3/32 sticks. Way too cold no matter what the stick. Clearly it is not doing anywhere near 100 amps and I doubt this old transformer welder (Century) is doing 70 when pushed all the way up. Perhaps I'd be better off with a flux wire 115 mig such as the Handler 140? Rarely weld but would like a somewhat creditable tool when I do.
