Hobart 210 MVP 10 year overview

For welding aluminum u need 100% argon

You did great, your video is very informative, I watched the entire video, keep up the good work!

Instead of using your zip tie to hold the ground wires in. Unconnect the wire thread it through the hole in your ground clamp from the inside and reattach. Should help alot and great overview!

Great detail...

Pick you up a roll of Lincoln Outershield 71M in .045. Dual shield wire. Lays in like hot glue.

Aside from the information that's on the manual, what is your experience with this welder? How is the performance? Do you recommend buying it?

Try the spool runner and weld aluminum, you're going to like it. It's fun! The gas is called Argon and it has to be 100%.

What happened to the 10 year overview? How often do you use the welder? Have you maxed it out at both input voltages? Have you tried welding with fluxed-cored wire? How did it perform, the welder not the wire?

HOBART is excellence! It is up there with MILLER and LINCOLN. You have a welder that is commonly used in the fabrication of heavy duty gates, machine shops and general auto repair.

Good video. Thanks! Curious, how much money total for the MIG, and everything else you might need? I see the MiG for around $1000 but you definitely need other tools and parts.

The ground wire is supposed to go through the hole in the clamp handle. That will help prevent the bending back and forth.

Great video! I appreciate your insight; thank you.

Great info.. thank you

You can up grade the wire size buy the .045 mig wire in the Hobart Handler 210 MVP you have to get a drive wheel for wire , .045 ,and a .045 tip and .045 flux coat wire . The tech at Hobart told me you can use the liner that is in stinger .

What size bottle are you running? I just bought mine yesterday.

What about gas welding

75 percent argon not 25 percent

Ask your self what the hole in the handle for !!!!!

Pardon me my friend; what happened to the 10 year overview? What have you done with this welder in the last ten years? Performance wise; how is it? Do you recommend buying this welder? Yes-no, maybe so...

MIG (wire feed or GMAW) has limitations , Our (I have one) Hobart 210 is only recommended for welding up to 3/8" mild steel. but I can weld thicker because I know how to do it with gaps and multiple passes. What was impressing about the 210 was the duty cycle. During hours of non-stop welding with the amperage maxed out it never tripped out from overloading. The welding doesn't change, it will just shut down so I don't know what you're talking about there. but for safety critical welds from 1/2" to 1" I still use stick because our MIG can't handle it. Dirty Rust pitted metal is another reason to have stick around because MIG doesn't like dirty. Your review has some misinformation, Flux cored wire is exactly what it states, the flux is INSIDE not on the outside, and coating on the outside is to prevent rust on the wire. Flux cored is twice the price as solid wire and the color of solid wire is because it's micro plated with copper to prevent wire from rusting. There was a few other mistakes but trivial.
The Hobart 210mvp is a good welder, and if you want to bump up the duty cycle the iornman 240 is better but a grand more. My stick AC/DC dinosaur and weighs as much has a 80% duty cycle, so when looking for a used stick don't pass up those old obsolete machines because they aren't pretty or light (which means cheap) and some cases get them free.

Can always crimp and make the cords longer with some extra wire!

i love mine

What does each setting on the v selection and the wire speed actual measure out to??

if one switches from the 210v to 115v. will one be able to weld 3/8th mild steel?
