Infinite Voltage, Infinite Wire Feed,
Infinite Possibility!
- Unlike to its transformer-based counterparts, F130 features an continuous voltage control that allows you to fine tune the voltage independently of the wire feed speed. Use the control to gain more freedom in making the weld puddle perform the way you want it to. Dial out spatter or control the weld puddle while welding overhead. Infinite voltage control puts total control of the welding arc in your own hands, allowing you to get the results you want.
Rugged Wire Feeding System
- > Side load spool design normally used in professional MIG welding machine.
- > Precision full-adjustment drive system reduces chance of wire tangling.
- > Durable gear box delivers added drive torque and quiet operation.
Advanced inverter technology provides outstanding welding performance
Delivers the same brute power as its transformer-based counterparts, but at lower electricity costs.
Unprecedented 46V open circuit voltage make it is extremely easy to start arc at exceptional smooth arc ignition at rust surface.
Forgiving arc makes dialing in your application easy, excellent out-of-position arc stability, low spatter and a wide voltage sweet spot.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Why F130 burns 035 (0.9mm) flux cored wire, but other similar welders in the market capable of 030 (0.8mm) wire only?
The secret is the 40K Hz highest efficiency in-class IGBT inverter module built in the unit. The High performance inverter generates more current with the same limited power available at US residential household.
-
Can I use 0.30 or 0.23 wire for some auto work?
KickingHorse® F130 home flux core welder can use 030 wire, you need:
(1) Flip the drive roller to 030 groove.
(2) Install Lincoln (tweco) 11-30 tips which is available in Home Deport and other tool store as well as Amazon.
This unit can not use 023 flux core wire. Actually 023 is very rare for flux core because of the difficulty of manufacturing. -
What size generator will run this unit? What type of extension cord can I use with this welder?
F130 flux core welder would require a generator that features a minimum rated wattage of 3,000 watts. This unit is intended to be used with a 20 amp 115 volt AC circuit without the use of an extension cord. If one is used it must be rated for 20 amps for the entire length of the cord and cannot be any longer than 25 feet.
-
Does it have US safety approval? What happens if I use non - certified welder in US?
KickingHorse® F130 home flux core welder is CSA/US certified mig welding inverter and is safe and legal to weld both on-site and in house. In United States, before decide to purchase any welding machine without safety certification, you must consider not only the safety of the employees, your family members and properties, but also the legal, financial and insurance consequence may face by using non-safety approval equipment, no matter at work place or in home.
The Fines for Non-Compliance are Very Heavy in US! -
Is galvanized steel okay to weld? Need this to assist in building a tiny home/repairing the trailer will it be sufficient?
It's not a good idea to weld galv steel. You should weld the steel first then have it galvanised. Or if you have no choice and it is already galvanised then grind the galvanising off in the area you wild weld and paint with cold galv after welding.
-
Can this weld thin metal? 1/8 inch?
Yes, it can weld pretty thick steel, as I work at a steel shop and hamdle steel all day I was surprised how thick, with proper prep and skill you could weld half inch, when welding 1/8- 1/4 or more you need to crank the voltage up high but it’s a nice little welder, super light too.
-
Can I use stainless steel flux wire to weld with this machine?
You can weld any flux core wire with KickingHorse® F130 home welder as far as the wire does not need gas and does not use DCEP polarity. Consult to the wire manufacture specification first.
