I do not have a torch as it costs too much to lease the bottles and refill the tanks so my Lincoln AC-225 becomes more of a tool for me than just a welder alone:

In lieu of a torch it is possible to crank the welder up and use 6011 rods to cut steel and to burn holes in steel. The Lincoln manual even shows a recommended sawing technique on how to do this. Some people claim soaking the 6011 rod in water helps when cutting although I have never soaked my rods when cutting or burning holes. Savey users can cut/burn holes such that almost zero grinding is required. Less savey users (like me) have to do a little grinding but it does work. I have an uncle that claims he can cut thinner sheet stock that requires no grinding(almost as good as plasma) by incorpoarting a straight edge and other techniques - I need to get him to teach me his tricks on this.

I also use my AC225 to heat metal with a Twin Carbon arc torch (NOT to be confused with carbon gouging or Arcair gouging which is totally different process). The Twin carbon arc torch will NOT cut metal but can be used to heat metal for bending/straightening, removing rusted nuts with or without flame, and to braze or silver solder. Savey user's can even improvise tig weld with one (I can NOT). My flames are more similar to oxy/acetylene with a rosebud tip, but I do not practice to attempt to make alternatively better flames either. Twin Carbon Arc can actually burn 1000 degrees hotter than oxy/acetylene's potential if desired. Buying electricity is still cheap comapered to buying gas for the infrequent user. FWIW Twin carbon arc is the one process where AC power actually works better than DC power. The two rods burn/consume evenly on AC power. DC power can be used too, but one rod will burn/consume twice as fast as the other one making it a little harder to maintain the ideal flame.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition. ... [Read Article]
