Will it weld Stainless Steel?

I have not used it on stainless, however it claims to be able to. Regarding the "kit"...probably worth the price even though a good helmet with large auto darkening lens is really a must and the cart required some retro fitting to satisfy me...larger wheels out-rigged on the front to make it easier moving and kicked back on a bit of an angle, which most welding carts do and this one doesn't...

I've never welded it myself or have seen it welded, but since it is made of steel it must be possible. I would scrapE/sand the wire clean of any zinc coating to expose the bare steel.

No it will not. It's completely stainless steel. It's a great buy. Very durable and dependable so far.

Stainless no prob just get the proper spool of wire but aluminum is more tricky you have to have a shielding gas to make a good weld to do this you just have to get an compatible attachment and bottle of gas. With out it the weld wont stick and just make a mess.

No it won't. It is made for adding boiling water to it. And it is stainless and not magnetic.

Yes it can. If you add a spool gun and Argon gas it will weld aluminum I've been told. I have never tried it tho.

This welder will work fine if you know how to weld. What kinds of metal are you using? What thickness? Is say the max you can Wells with this would be 3/8", maybe 5/16", and I wouldn't suggest it for aluminum at all. Regular steel is fine.

It will if it is ferritic and will not if it is austenitic stainless. The paint on my son's Melissa and Doug letter/number set chipped off the first time he played with them, so I do not recommend these.

Yes, it can for a flux welder I'm very impressed. I've welded car panels two steel rods together and a broken sway bar. Just do the necessary prep work. and no galvanized steel the fumes are dangerous.

No, and don't get it welded. Epoxy works great. And the pin rattles, a lot. I zip tied it so it wouldn't drive me insane. But still worth the buy.

It's gonna do ok...my concern as a welder would be the metal heating up an distorting with the long welds..1/8 thickness

I have only used it on copper rings, so I am not sure about stainless steel rings.

You can't tig weld aluminum on this machine. It does not have HF ac output. It weld stainless as good as any I've used. No foot pedal of coarse, but still welds great.

No it will not. I have worked on several of these engines in welders. You need a special side valve engine spring compressor, similar to what would be used on an old lawnmower engine but much bigger & stronger.

Yes it sure will. This is a great welder I have welded everything from a PP kayak to a broken ABS rake. I have also repaired my motorcycle feder and plan to weld my gas tank soon.

I think it will. The only problem I see is the heat. JB Weld has held up to everything else I have thrown at it. Balancing its small cost against the risk of failure, my advice is to try it. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work but you still have partial tubes of the stuff for the future. It is always handy to have around!

Can you solder stainless? I don't think soBut a great question. I have always thought steel had to be welded
