All-in-one wire welding package welds 24 gauge - 5/16 in (0.8 - 7.9 mm) mild steel.
will this one work?
I always look at it like this.. get a little more than what you need. I dont mean get something that will weld 1/2"...but I would consider a Hobart 140 also. They will do 1/4" and thin sheet metal. I know...I had one. Super smooth. Mine was really a 135, but they updated it to a 140 and I think i paid around $425. Get a name brand..Miller,Hobart,esab...that way all parts and service are available. Good luck,Chuck
i agree with chuck the hobart 140 is a great welder.put a gas bottle on it and it will weld everything you want.as far as welding say half inch material, it will do it, you just have to turn up heat and burn it in.a few small welds are stronger than one big weld.
