## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with a cheap 90 amp harbor freight**
A: It works better than the wire that came with my HF welder. I did upgrade the wire feeder with one I found on Amazon. Also, I am using a 0.030 tip instead of the 0.035 that came with the machine. Machine is 8 years old and runs better now than when it was new.

**Q: can I use this with my 125 amp flux core welder from harbor freight**
A: Danny,
This wire would be perfect to run in your flux core welding machine!
Thank you for your question.

**Q: can I use this to solder?**
A: By solder you mean electronics? Like motherboards and so? You dont need shade for that but i am sure you can use an auto darkening helmet since it is clear it will stay that way

**Q: What is the diameter of the center hole.**
A: I believe .030/.8mm and .035/.9mm
