Now that you’ve chosen your Forney Easy Weld machine, it’s time to step up your accessory game! Let’s break down the best accessories and consumables for your unit.
The Forney Easy Weld 140 MP Multi-Process Welder
This machine works great with common electrodes such as E6011 rod, E7018 rod, E6013, and our go to rod, E7014. E7014 rods are easy to use and perfect for beginners.
We generally suggest .030” flux core wire for this unit. However, if you’re working with sheet metal, .023” or even .024” are great options as well. We do not recommend running .035” wire with this machine, it simply doesn’t have enough amperage for that type of wire.
