The Forney Easy Weld 261, 140 FC-i Welder is a welding machine designed for use with Flux-Core welding wire. Here are some key features of this specific model:
Voltage: The welder operates on a standard 120V power source, which makes it suitable for home or small-scale welding projects.
Welding Process: It utilizes Flux-Core welding, which is a popular method for welding mild steel. Flux-Core welding does not require the use of an external shielding gas, as the flux within the welding wire creates a protective shield around the weld pool.

Portability: The welder is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it easily portable and convenient for use in different locations.
Wire Feed Control: It features an adjustable wire feed speed control, which allows you to set the appropriate feeding rate for different welding applications.
Thermal Protection: The welder is equipped with a thermal overload protection system that automatically shuts off the machine if it exceeds the safe temperature range. This helps prevent overheating and extends the lifespan of the unit. User-friendly Interface: The Easy Weld 261 has a simple and intuitive control panel, making it easy to set up and operate, even for beginners.
