will this welder weld two 1/4" pieces of steel together?

Yes it will. You can gain more strength with multiple passes, but it will stick two 1/4" pieces together. Great product for the price.

absolutely...but you may need to weld both sides though and/or use a circular motion and highest current setting. May need to play around with wire feed speed as well. I'd practice on some scraps first...

I used it on bunch of alum 1/4 rivets with steel shank and it worked well as far as 1/4 steel have not tried it .

absolutely. I had a 64vw notchback that I did a body off restoration and welded in new pans. At the time I had a smaller lincoln mig welder that i did the job with. This one will do it no problem.

It's a nice little welder , I have welded 1/2 inch steel with no problem.But I don't think it would last long if you over worked it.If you want to weld for hours at a time , get a bigger welder.

Yes, you can weld stainless steel. This is from the Eastwood website description: "Welds mild and stainless steel, 24-ga. to 1/4".

No, you can't. It can handle both the small one or two pound spools, and the larger ten pound spools. Just like every other portable wire feed welder.

It most certainly can.This is a great machine for the money.The key to such thin material is to weld slow,and give it a chance to cool.And as far smaller welder don't waste your time or money.Hope this helps.

It's 2 pieces, and welded nicely. Using this type of slicer is different from a lot of them. Start away from yourself and just drag it toward you. I love mine.

If the pipe is made of copper and using solder then yes. To weld a steel pipe?; - NO!!!

I'm sure it would work on a small piece, but I would use some type of construction adhesive over JB Weld for that. If you do decide to use it,make sure you let it set 24 hours to cure before moving or messing with it.

I haven't tried welding aluminum, but one thing I know because I have tested it: it's good for the 1/16 and more and less for the 5/64 and 3/32 as it seems to need some extra 5 to 10 amperes more to burn properly these last ones, (I have tried to make a nice welding with these last 2 electrodes using this welding machine but the weld simply cools down to fast).Using the 1/8 electrode for mild steel; well this machine won't burn it, not even using the 1/8 SS electrodes which I feel are softer.

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!

No its not suitable to weld much of anything. It will also Cost you more to setup for a tig package then it will to just buy a new lincoln welder.

yes, you need to get an aluminum spool, use argon only, no mix, and preheat the object being welded

I never tried but I believe you could do atleast 15 inch welds before end of duty cycle.

No I do not think it would work with out welding some additional pieces on for support.

A good question. I suspect that it would depend upon the location of the repair. The weld material is designed to be rigid once cured. If the repair area remains oriented on one dimensional plane throughout its function, then the repair would probably hold. If the repair area is subject to repeated flexing on one or more axis, I think you'd be asking a great deal of the weld.Good luck with your repair.
