Will this welder weld 1/4" rod stock?

Yes if you bevel it and most likely need to use a couple of passes, good for a occasional job but if doing a lot of 1/4" and larger welding would be better off getting a larger machine. This works well with 3/16" steel and smaller, really good on 1/8" steel and smaller. In most home welding you don't need a bigger welder. The rule is buy the best welder you can afford, and I would avoid the non name brand welders. Get a Hobart, miller or Lincoln to be sure it is a quality machine

Oh, my mistake it should be able to weld up to 6/16" diameter steel rod because you are welding around a rod from both sides. So it should do just fine with 1/4" inch rod.

I think it will work. I had to put an "S" bend in the rod to suite my application. I used a propane torch to heat it up prior to bending.

Hello Lovetoshop This product will only add approx. 1/2" to 3/4" to the end of the butt stock. Hope this helps!

Yes. The dual in pipes line up like 99%, so a little 1% persuasion and it can be welded right up.

you can weld up to 1/4" without gas but I would recomend gas with this welder it well penetrate better and you will get less slag.

Not sure about thinness, but the welder can handle 1/4 inch steel with no problem.

Without trying it, I couldn't say for certain... Here's what's in the official description: Easily installed on any T6 or M4 style collapsible stock reduces the weapons felt recoil Texturing ensures a proper stock weld to the shoulder Height: 4.75-InchTom

Mine came with a 3/4 inch downrod; I do not know if a 1 inch downrod is available. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I would say that Mark is correct. 1-1/4" fits easily, maybe a tad more and then tighten w/the lock down screw....laj

This jig will work on stock 2 1/4" thick. I love the jig and happened to have used it just today. I sometimes use it with some 3/8" pointed inserts (sorry I don't remember their names) for mating the dowel holes to uneven stock. The unique feature of this jig to center the drilling guide to the stock is unsurpassed. I know it is expensive, but it is very well built and I know of no other centering jig of its equal. I would definitely buy it again.

It is a good welder, you will have enough problems starting out welding that you don't need to be sorting out problems with the welder. Not so with this one. It is good up to 1/8" and possible to do thicker, but at 1/4" things are pretty much out of its range.

It should. The threads are pretty standard. If it happens to be too long, you can simply cut off the excess with a hacksaw to match the length of your existing anode rod.

no, i got it to replace my miller 175 that i sold awhile back. I would estimate 20-30% ? i would do google search and look for specifications. Good welder for around the garage. Although i have had a few problems getting the wire to feed correctly. I think my lead or gun us defective.

I will say, "yes" you can weld 1/4 steel plate with this weld. Overall, it's not a bad machine however, there are some issues I have with it. Primarily it is the machines ability to provide the welding wire at a specific speed & the voltage/current as well. There's just something about these variables that fluxuate enough during a weld that make it difficult to get the penetration of your weld. What I've done is find my settings & then move them up slightly, problem is you'll blow right through then metal & thicker workpieces (like 1/4") you'll have it wide open. So yeah, it can weld 1/4", if it was for structure or a frame, I'd look elsewhere. I will say, "yes" you can weld 1/4 steel plate with this weld.

It will fit 1" and 1 1/4" from the looks of it. I have it on a 1" bar right know.

I don't think you would ever reach the upper limits of the duty cycle on 1/8" steel... I had the welder basically at full output welding structural components on a log splitter with mine. The warning light never once came on-2 minutes on 2 minutes off- maybe for 20 minutes or so.That said- If you are looking for a production welder, don't buy this one. Buy a real one with a real duty cycle. This is a great machine- just stay within the duty cycle and you'll be fine.

I have done some welding on 1/4 steel, but not a lot, usually 3/16. But I have not had any problems on the 1/4, just a bit slower. I love this welder, since I can have it set up in my shop, and weld some stuff as it needs, Vs. the stick welder I have that I have to move outside to a 220v outlet. I'm not a good welder by any means, but with a little practice, I can weld really light stuff Vs. burning thru with the stick. The first time I used it, I thought I had made a mistake, since I had a har time welding, but the second day, after reviewing the settings again, I did, in my opinion, rather well. I also bought, quickly after, an auto dark helmet, as the arc is hard to see since it is small.
