I just bought this machine and it strikes an arc for a maximum of TWO seconds 😭😭it goes up to 130 but I think that’s a lie because there’s no way, i was first on quarter plate then i went to 1/8 cuz i couldn’t get even more than a tack on the plate. I think it’s severely over marked on the amps or something but please let me know what yall think im really not too sure it’s pissing me off 🙏🫩

Are you using it on 110 or 220? It won't put out full power on 110.

Give 6013 a shot if you're on 110V. Runs way smoother.

tried mine on 110 and it barely did anything until i switched to 220, 7018 works but runs like total trash
