testing output for stick welder ?
 Nonetheless, it gets the job done and I've been relatively lucky so far with my beads but I'd like to get a little more precise. All I have at hand is a cheap multimeter, is there any way for me to determine what the settings actually are without frying anything ? (electricity is NOT my forte). Even something simple like a scale from max. - min. would help, but I can't really judge it by the stuff I've been working on. Last edited by charlie23; 04-09-2013 at 02:08 PM.

I'm not familiar with your power service where you are from. Are you on AC or DC? You will need a DC or AC amp meter depending on your machines output. You just clamp it around the output cable and while welding it will reflect the amp output. Change for one setting to another and you will find out the amp output for each setting. A mulitmeter will not give you the amp output.

That does look pretty "basic", Charlie.

Maybe we can help out a bit more if you post some more pictures.

Can you find a local sparky with an ammeter & do as Milo suggested?

I have seen a lot of Russian tools and they are VERY basic. They work, but do not have the fit and finish that we are accustomed to here in the US. Hey, why have an on/off switch when plugging it in does the same thing?

Cutter, calling this thing basic seems a tad over the top on this one. lol And it welds to boot. I think that's one interesting box of sparks.
