    • Very good flux core welder, at a very good price...
This is the best value flux-core welder going right now. I was sceptical after not just one, but two of my friends bought the cheap one from Harbor Freight, both used it one time, and both returned it the same day. Both then bought the Hobart Handler instead. I've been needing a replacement for my old mig machine for quite some time, but just never could afford to spend so much for a decent one. I finally had a little money saved up, and with a lengthy list of projects adding up that require welding I finally started shopping for a mig machine. I can't afford to keep a gas bottle and really have no place to store one if I could so I needed something that could run flux core and runs dc neg. current. I saw many reviews for this welder and though I had been planning on buying the Hobart because I was already familiar with it's performance, I decided to save quite a bit and give this one a try. I don't regret it at all. In fact, it works better than I ever expected. The adjustments are a very nice touch compared to others with only 2 or 4 options for setting the current. This one can be dialed in to the perfect setting allowing great penetration without blowing through. I mostly weld pipe, so for me that was a very important thing to consider. The welder itself is very light at only 19lbs before adding a roll of flux core wire. Seems to be of sturdy construction. The outer case is pretty much the same as my old $600 mig bought off the Snap On truck almost 20 years ago. The torch isn't the best, but certainly more than adequate. I only say that because the lead isn't as thick and protective of the liner and wire inside as other mig welders, but it does have a thick-ish rubber sleeve an is 8 feet long. Tips are easily changed out, the same as any other mig torch. Like I mentioned before, I mostly weld pipe. A lot of exhaust pipes and bike frames, and so far I absolutely love this machine. I took a chance based on all the good reviews and it certainly paid off. I saved almost $200 and feel like I actually got a better welder where it counts. The infinite style adjustments were a big one. The Hobart I was looking at only had 4 settings based on metal thickness. I prefer more of a range to work with. Thickness is only relevant if we all weld exactly the same way at exactly the same speed. While borrowing both of my friends Hobart's for exhaust work I had a hard time because setting it on 2 wasn't giving me the penetration I needed, but 3 would blow through even if I moved fast and cranked up the wire speed to compensate. My welds were not coming out consistent and even breaking soon after I finished. The 140fci does an awesome job. I literally spent 5 minutes puting a roll of wire on and setting it up. The ground clamp is fairly stout and also 8 feet to match the torch length. The quality of the welds I'm getting is way better than I expected. Though I saw many good reviews, not just on here either. There were many on YouTube and other sites as well. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. For someone like me, that just needed to be able to fix things at home without the need to borrow a welder, and maybe even take my bike building hobby to the next level the price and quality are perfect. I feel like I've already saved a lot of money just being able to fabricate the intake manifold and exhaust pipe expansion chamber I've done so far. They weren't just functional but look nice as well, and most importantly, are air tight, no leaks at all. It's easy to use, just choose your current and set wire speed around the same to start, then dial it in to your preferred performance level. I was able to buy this, a decent hood, 2lb roll of wire, and spare tips all for right around 300 dollars. I feel the welder alone is worth that all day. I would highly recommend this to anyone who either welds but doesn't plan to ever use gas, or wants to learn on a quality machine that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Sure, I'd love a nice Miller with all the bells and whistles, who wouldn't? But, I don't use it to make a living, and I can't afford one, so this here was perfect. I can't say enough good things about this welder, and the price just makes it a much sweeter deal. I plan to get a lot of use out of it in the coming weeks finishing up a couple bike builds I currently have going. I'm confident that I will be able to do all my welding and have no problems at all. If that changes, I'll come back and change my review, but I don't think it'll even be an issue. The only thing better than this deal might be the 140mp because then I'd have my arc and mig in one handy machine. While writing this review all I'm thinking about is welding up my latest side project, so I'm going to go and do that now. Very happy with this machine, highly recommend to anyone who has a need for one, and would definitely buy again. Even the bright green is cool. Can't wait to get it fired up again. ... show more

    • Great low cost investment!
I replaced an older DIY Chicago Electric 90 amp flux core wire welder with this upgraded welder. Both are 110v but the differences in quality is supreme. The seperate wire feed and voltage adjustments is the best feature. True 90 amps is all I need for welding 1/4" steel. My recent project was a true test of its ability. Light gauge outdoor garden spinner blade broke off and I was able to tack with low adjustments on the welder. I don't have a tig welder so I had to weld with this welder. No burn thru. High wire speed and low voltage worked perfectly. My point, it's perfect for light to mid fabrication in my home DIY projects. Stick welding is nice but rods are expensive and not as easy to set up for light gauge. Every welder has their preference but this welder is convenient, easy to weld, easy to adjust and fast set up. Just turn it on and press the wire feed button. Nice! ... show more

    • Capable welder, but don't expect beginner beads to look like professional work.
The Forney video strongly recommends using .030 wire (flux core, of course). The reason given: ".035 draws more current." I wasn't getting acceptable beads with the .030 nor the proper sound or puddle that I thought should be there. And the bead penetration didn't seem sufficient, judging from the rounded up bead. I tried various combinations of settings without a lot of improvement. Finally, the arc seemed to be hunting for a happy place, no matter where I set the wire feed or what amount of stick-out I tried. So I ordered some .035 flux core wire and some contact tips for that size. This fixed almost everything for me. I had already wired a 30 amp circuit (120 volt) with 10 gauge wire, so the .035 wire did not challenge my circuit at all. And the welder gave not the slightest hint of warming up, although I was welding at a higher duty cycle and varying the volt settings from 5 to 8 on the dial. The beads were now the width they should be, and the puddle of molten metal at the arc was better. Penetration seemed good. The bead edges were melted in as they should be, neither overlapped or undercut. I am still not getting as much slag on the top of the bead as I want--almost none. The bulk of my welding experience is with stick welders. Welding rods have a lot more flux on the outside than wire has on the inside. I don't know if Forney will be happy with my testimonial for .035 wire. My guess is that they know their welder can handle it, but don't want a lot of complaints about popping breakers ruining their reputation. Some buildings have 15 amp circuits for the outlets, and the homeowner might not know the difference. I must say that it's been some time since I have welded with a wire feed welder (and that was a MIG welder). Once I get back into practice, I will try the .030 wire again. If the beads still resemble the droppings of an inebriated chicken with digestive tract issues dancing across hot metal, then I'll have 10 pounds of .030 flux core wire for sale. Suggested improvements: I would have preferred some information in the booklet or on the machine telling me what wire feed rates and voltages are represented by the numbers on the dials. I would prefer more angle to the neck of the gun. I have to hold my elbow pretty high to weld on flat stuff. And this would be a better unit for beginners (which I am with flux core) if the booklet had some pictures of various beads and how to improve them by changing the settings, feed rate, and arc-length/stick-out (tip-to-work) distance. ... show more

    • Best purchase for small projects
Welded an entire offroad bumper with this welder. Did the job very well and the bumper is still going strong 2 years later. I would remove the MIG diffuser as it doesn't do anything since this is a non gas unit and it blocks the weld when trying to learn. With Flux core you do get a lot of spatter.
