Hi Jason,
I'll try to get some oscilloscope shots from the welding leads with and wit=
hout an inductor. I'm really curious about what really goes on, voltage-wis=
e. 6011 rods sound like they oscillate at a few Hz while welding.

My welder is one of those $90 ones :) It's a Hitbox AT2000. Seems to top ou=
t at a little over 140 Amps output when running on 240 volts. The display i=
s not calibrated in Amps, though. Set at 100 it puts out 70 Amps.

Friendly regards, Bob

That's really cool, thanks for sharing Bob. I look forward to seeing
the pictures. By the way, would your "lunchbox" sized welder happen to
be similar to the one that harbor freight sells? I imagine HF's "80
Amp Inverter Arc Welder" is just an imported version of the chinese
ones that can be had on Amazon for less than $90.
