Review: One of the best welders I have ever owned! - This little welder went above all my expectations and then some!! I have put this welder through the paces for the applications I need it for and now its review time. I'm a machinest and mechanic by trade. Our old shop welder stopped working one day and I was on search for something small and compact. I saw the reviews on the little welder and pulled the trigger and got one. I was on the fence because to me I thought I needed the best welder on the market for the types of applications I need and let's face it Lincoln and Miller are the Red and Blue and run the show for welders. After this purchase i can definitely state that it is not the case and Im so glad I did make this purchase! I weld cast, and various types of metals. I do alot of Drive End, Outer End Bell housing for electric motors, Gearbox and Pump Impeller repairs and the arc on this this little welder is mind blowing. Cast Iron: (240v) (Does not work well on 120v) I barely even touch the surface and it has the smoothest start on every run. Im running on 240V can weld Cast 99 and Cast 55 rod like butter. Making repairs a breeze and I can get more jobs done so much faster now with a better quality weld. It out performs the old welder we had in our shop and im laying down dimes on Cast now. My old welder dosent even come close to how well this thing lays dimes on Cast. Trick of the trade when welding Cast is making sure your surface is ground down and sand blasted and then heating it with a torch to between 200F-250F and then reversing the polarity when stick welding Cast 99 and 55 rod. Alot of inverter welders I have tried have a hard time doing this but this thing little welder works perfectly, and I honestly don't know how. General Steel: (240 and 120v work just fine) I've ran 7018 also and again the smoothest arc start. I've had to go and do fan balancing out in the field to weld on weights so it's very portable and small so I can fit it in a backpack and go on top of roofs. It works very well on 120v for 7018 also. Now on to stainless steel: (240v and 120v work just fine) I've even welded 308 stainless steeI rod to build up material on the OD and ID of stainless steel Impellers because the material just washes it down so im able to build it up and turn it down on a lathe. Shaft Build up: Also I've had rotor shafts that the bearing journals are just trashed after a motor tear down. So I run 6013 rod beads and then turn the shaft down to the proper bearing tolerance diameter. A perfect finish everytime!! Final Note: Ive done 45 rotar shaft repairs so far, 37 cast repairs and 19 stainless steel impeller repairs and 55 gearbox repairs at the time of this review and this welder hasnt had a hicup yet! I did however upgrade the stinger and ground clamp before using as mentioned in the majority of reviews because it is a definite must. If you are like me looking for a welder and might be on the fence get this welder you will be blown away as I have!! I dont know how this welder perforns so well but im so blown away on how well it works! I would highly recommend this welder to anyone, just pull the trigger and get it!! You won't be disappointed!
Review: Amazing welder - I was skeptical because of the cheap price, but bought it based on it's good reviews. I am beyond impressed. I haven't welded since high school shop class (other that a handful of mig welds). I used it for a fairly ambitious project... an in-ground trampoline for my kids. I first welded the 125 "bumps" where the springs attach to the 4x4 1/4 thick angle iron.... each clip is a 1/4 inch rod bent into a small U shape... top, bottom, right and left side... total of 500 welds! I played around with different rods and settings. It performed flawlessly with 6011 rods and 6013s. I struggled with the 70 series, but that's probably my limited skills. These welds were done in my garage where I have 240V. Then I took the 4 frame pieces to the backyard (110V) where I had to weld them together... an important structural weld on 1/4 inch steel. I watched some Youtube videos and then ground a 45 angle on the edges and first did a fill with 6011 and stitch over the top. It worked great. However, I found it's more forgiving with the higher voltage. On 110V, make sure you use a heavy duty extension cord as short as possible, have good ground, clean rod holder. Suggestion: If you're beginner, make sure you anchor your arms on something so you can comfortably and precisely control the ARC. Start with 6011 rods. What I really like: digital display shows the amperage. Very simple to set and change. Very simple to set up. Very light and small. Seem to be very well made. I wish DEKOPRO made a Tig welder for Aluminum!... my next project.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this really a DC welder? It doesn't say anywhere in the description or specs..**
A: It plugs into ac 110v or 220v (comes with an adapter). Yes it's a DC welder

**Q: Any stick welder can be a tig rig, but has anyone tried aluminium, is this a HF welder?**
A: Hi, I assure you this welder is not junk.  I have started to compile a list of items I have repaired using this item.  I also built a 3 point reciever trailer hitch.  I found an old set of huge bolt cutters in a burn pile that I threw away 5 years ago.  I cleaned them up and was able to repair them instantly.  I payed 50 dollars for those bolt cutters.  

Repaired items:
Bolt cutters: 50
Trailer hitch :125
Clamp:25

This welder has already paid for itself in the first month of owning.  I will be upgrading the cable and electrode holder eventually.  After that, it will be perfect.  The size of the unit is slightly larger than a loaf of bread

**Q: Can I plug this right into the outlet for my dryer?  220V? or does it have to run on 110?**
A: No.. Well it depends on your drier plug outlet.
Some adapters exist, in some configurations, and for some reason, some don't.

It has a 120 adapter, but it's a 50amp.
Chances are you don't have a 50 amp outlet. Your drier will be a much smaller variant at 15 or 20 amps.

If you look through reviews you'll see some have constructed their own pigtail adapters for this reason, or else you'd have to swap your outlet to the 50 amp, and swap the plug on your drier too, just to plug in the welder, and you'd end up running something with a potential to draw 50 amps on 20 amp rated wire.
Because we can see the amps we're pulling, we know what we're putting through the line.

In short, make a pigtail adapter for the welder only, and don't run it for very long durations at high amperage, or you'll melt your cables. For lower it will be fine. For short duration it will be fine.

In my case, I have a 6-30R outlet, and there's no 50 amp converter available in that combination, so I bought a 6-50R adapter, with 10 awg wire, and chopped the other end off, and attached my 6-30 plug to it. "Extension Cord Adapter 10-30P to 6-50R 30 Amp Dryer Male Plug to 50 Amp 1.5FT 10AWG".

It's no different than any other configuration that will allow you to run a 50amp into a lower 30 or 20 amp circuit, only they don't make them.

Price of plug and adapter, roughly 35 dollars.

**Q: Can it be used for plumbing**
A: It is a welder for welding ferrous metal. If you are welding steel pipe it will work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing welder

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A real workhorse in a lightweight package
*by J***Y on October 23, 2023*

I needed a welder to apply hardfacing on a piece of agricultural equipment and this DEKOPRO got the nod. I wasn't sure what to expect, especially after opening the package and holding the small, lightweight welder in my hand. I plugged it in to 220 volts and began hardfacing steel at about 85 amps with some 1/8 hardfacing rod. It went better than I expected. I subsequently tried welding with 3/32 6011 and 7018 rod. Both welded fine once the amperage was dialed in. 1/8 inch welded OK too. I tried 5/32 rod but that seemed like too much for the little machine. I never tried 110V but I feel like 3/32 6011 or 7018 would be fine. I don't think it could handle 1/8 rod on 110V. I usually weld with MIG or TIG in an enclosed shop, but I have found my new 'outdoor' welder. The DEKAPRO perfectly compliments my 110V flux core MIG for outdoor use and now they both reside on the same cart. This is a great utility welder at a great price. Also, a good welder for any beginner!
