S248819-002 - Hobart Fabco 711M 1/16" Flux-Cored Welding Wire, 60lb Coil

Master Out-of-Position Welding with Hobart Fabco 711M

For professional welders tackling heavy-duty structural projects, the Hobart Fabco 711M 1/16" flux-cored wire is a powerhouse consumable that delivers consistency and performance. If you are tired of fighting a sagging puddle while welding vertical-up, this wire is the solution. Hobart has engineered the Fabco 711M with a fast-freezing slag that acts like a shelf, holding your molten pool in place and allowing you to stack metal efficiently without worrying about the weld dripping or rolling out. This means you can weld faster and with more confidence, even when gravity is working against you.

This 60lb coil is built for the long haul, perfect for shop environments where stopping to swap out small spools kills momentum. The 1/16" diameter is a heavy-hitter, capable of laying down significant amounts of metal per hour, which is exactly what you need for shipbuilding, railcar fabrication, and heavy equipment repair. The arc is stiff and focused, giving you the deep penetration needed to bite into the steel, yet it remains manageable and predictable. Plus, the slag release is exceptional—often peeling off by itself or with a light scrape—saving you valuable time on cleanup and inter-pass grinding.

Versatility is another huge plus for the Fabco 711M. Whether your shop runs on straight CO2 to keep costs down or uses an Argon/CO2 blend for that buttery smooth arc, this wire handles both with ease. It produces low fumes compared to many other wires in its class, helping to keep your breathing zone clearer (though proper ventilation is always a must). When you need a wire that is tough enough for structural codes but friendly enough to run all day, the Hobart Fabco 711M is the reliable choice for the professional fabricator.
