      Helpful?

  3. Can you use an extension cord with the stickmate, if so what guage and max length?

    1. I do, yes. I have 20 feet of #6 that I added a plug and a receptacle to, it works like a charm. My welder is on a cart and the extension receptacle is mounted to the back of the cart.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes you may use a extension cord. Most common on this unit would be a 25 foot cord, which is a #8 gauge. Using a 50 foot cord is a # 8 also. Anything over 50 feet, it is a #6 gauge.

      Helpful?

  4. Is it possible to lengthen the leads and what size should they be?

    I have a new stickmate and the factory leads are short. Can't move the machine much because the power cord is short. I need longer leads. Just need to know how long you can go and what wire size. Does Hobart make a longer set?

    1. Well, I did by using soldering sleeves and made each cable 30 feet long. i used #2 ga. cable

      Helpful?

    2. You can add up to 25 more feet of weld cable to the Stickmate units using the same size cable as supplied with the welder.

      Helpful?

    1 answer

    1. This welder has a DC circuit that's not square wave capable.

      Helpful?

  6. Maximum amps output in DC mode?

    What is the maximum amps output in DC mode, and can this handle 6010 rods without any issues?

    1 answer

    1. This Hobart Stickmate LX235 AC/DC 230V Arc Welder/Stick Welder will put out a maximum of 160 amps in DC mode. This will handle 6010 rods up to 3/16 inch diameter.

      Helpful?

  7. Can this run 6010 (5P and 5P+) rods in sizes 1/8" and 5/32"?

    I've seen alot of inverter welders can't burn 6010 rods very well. They say to use 6011 or 6013 instead. Can this DC welder handle 6010 5P and 5P+ ?
    I always prefer to use 6010 for the excellent penetration and effectiveness on weathered or rusty material.

    1 answer

    1. This Ingersoll Rand welder can handle all 6010 rods.

      Helpful?

  8. For generator size when you say 12000 watt minimum is that surge or running watts?

    1 answer

    1. You would need a 12000 running watts minimum to power this welder.

      Helpful?
