Why can’t I run 6010 rod with my welding machine?

It comes down to cost.  To run E6010 electrodes must have a big inductor and suitable software.  This added circuitry is needed because E6010 does not contain potassium in the flux.  Potassium helps to stabilize the arc. It will run E6011 just fine.
