How much was your VFD?

I did a quick google search for "single phase VFD drive" and find a lot of attractive units under $200
I have a 10 HP Baldor 3 phase I can use for no-load testing, but...

Yes, but I come back to old posts after several years all the time on other forums, as long as it is still relevant information, or updates are needed. If there is a concern, it would be nice it it...

I always weld downhill with 6010/6011 for the root pass, and uphill with 7018 for the cap.

I'll bet he's glad to have you as a friend!

How does it work?

My Engine driven rig is (and has been for a decade now) is a Pramac 10000 with a Honda GX620 V-twin and an old Miller Dialarc 250.

Not ideal, but it's what I had to put together at the time. ......

Not worried about the bearings - - is the rotor balanced to handle those speeds?

Will centrifugal force cause anything to become dislodged, warped, or fly off?

OK, the MotorGuard I see all the time is a bypass oil filter, hence the confusion.
It looks nearly identical (It may even be the same product in a different box)

Optical illusion!

The photo of the drawer pulled out looks WAAAY longer than the space where it fits!

My Power MTS 211Si was built a couple months ago... when it gets colder, I'll report back here to see if it's an issue with my machine or not.

I may have to add a little propane or wood burning...

What exactly happened to it?

I don't think a bypass oil filter is capable of preventing a catastrophic engine failure.

Howdy, Y'all!

Picked up a new Everlast Power MTS 211Si - The "second newest welder" I own is over 20 years old! (I sure hope this one lasts that long) S/N No468901xxx .... Built just a few months...
