Brand name "Alloy Rods" has what they call the "E-6013LV" The "LV" stands for Low Voltage which is common with the small buzz box welders like you have. Dad has one of these Linc 225 AC machines and these rods work great on it, know for fact, have used them. Some of things about running these LV rods. 1- for 3/32" diameter, run at 75 amp setting.
2- for 1/8" diameter, run at 115 amp setting.
3- Hold a tight arc, start acr and drop rod right onto surface and drag the rod against the work so that you actually feel the flux touching the work. If you lift the rod and strech the arc, you'll get slag inclusion. Holding a tight arc will produce a beautiful weld bead that is strong and clean. Don't force the rods, let them burn on their own. Weave side to side only, not front to back like you would with a 6011 on DC. These rods cost a bit more, about $.30 per pound, than regular 6013's but will make welding easy and mcuh nicer with the buzz box.
