Lincoln Electric Flux Core MIG Wire SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder Walmart was selling off their entire stock of LE products.
The cheap Harborfreight.com wire works 100% better.
LE stuff seam to be all flux and no steel. I seam to be welding twice as long and I am welding some parts twice.
I get small pockets or holes of scale. That I then need to clean out, grind and re-weld.
I never had a problem like this before with any other wire.
I don't like welding things twice.
Lincoln Electric  from my work shop.
I also avoid Forney wire. Its not bad but it burns up fast.
You gotta double the feed speed to get a good flow. | | |
