Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does this welder require welding gas (gas MIG)? The 120 Amp model is typically designed for Gasless Flux-Core Arc Welding (FCAW), meaning it uses specialized hollow wire that contains flux to shield the weld, eliminating the need for an external gas cylinder. Check the manual if you wish to use it with shielding gas (gas MIG) later, as this may require additional components.

2. What thickness of metal can this 120 Amp welder handle? It is generally suitable for welding mild steel from very thin sheet metal (around 1.5 mm) up to about 5 mm thickness in a single pass, depending on the skill of the operator and the specific duty cycle.

3. What is the Duty Cycle? The duty cycle refers to how long the machine can run at its maximum amperage in a 10-minute period before needing to cool down. For a 120 Amp home-use welder, a typical duty cycle might be 20% at 120 Amps, meaning you can weld for 2 minutes, followed by an 8-minute cooling period. For lower amperages, the duty cycle is usually much longer.
