110 volt mig welders

[robertdjung]

Curious for anyone that has one: how is the penetration of the weld? i know they say they can do 1/4" (i think that's it) but is that really practical?

I've got one and it works great for me. I've welded 5/16" with nothing wrong, the only problem I've actually had is that it can't weld very thin material.

Edit:

The penetration is very good.

[robertdjung]

seems like it would do thin without a problem.

well when your using the flux core with the thin material it does burn through easily is that the kind your talking about our are u using gas:o

[robertdjung]

yes, i run gas, but in the 220 class mig. without gas that makes sense, since the atmosphere would be burning the material easier without the shield.
