Is it also good for ARC welding ????

I am sorry I can`t answer the question because I bought the helmet for someone else.

I've never use it on metal. I bought this unit specifically to weld aluminum. I've never weld any thing before (metal or else). But I was able to weld very thin aluminum (1/8" and 1/16") aluminum. The chart settings are a bit off but with couple of minutes try and error, it works. I would choose one with many settings vs capped ones. Like I said above, it makes me almost a pro instantly.

I wouldn't think so. It's a nice beginner mask for tig,mig and stick. But then if i use a grinder after welding it gets dark on and off quickly depending how many sparks I throw. Kind of annoying. Using the gas rigs it goes in and out while cutting. I don't think it's meant for that.

Yes! This welding hood is fantastic for starting out with and the lenses are fairly resilient to being damaged by stray sparks from a MIG process.

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.

I use mine for mig welding and they are awesome - perfect for mig welding. But they are not strictly speaking fire-proof.

I think it would work fine. On high speed the unit moves the air quite well. If your welding with a shielding gas, it might pose a problem with weld quality. None the less, you have medium and low speed too! I'd give it a try. I'm very happy with my unit.

This welding machine is very good. Can 6010 welding electrode without any problem, I have welded electrode 6010 without using half its capacipad, I've never been 100 amp that has not been necessary.

i dont know about that, i have used it for tig and fcaw which is dual shield, no problems, i know it is not warranteed by the manufacturer for overhead welding but i use mine for it anyways. two other students in my shop are using the same helmet for tig. we like our helmets even though we dream of four or five hundred dollar ones but as far as i know and have seen overhead is not reccomended and tig is a process this helmet does in fact work well with from experience.

That's a pretty big question,you need to be more specific about what metal and how much and what specifically you want to do? Solder? Weld? Melt metal for casting?. Soldering & brazing of most common plumbing fittings,sure,that's what this torch is mostly used for.. Do you want to weld steel? Get a torch that's made for it.

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.

My welder was a recycled machine and DOA; I never struck an arc with it and sent it back. I suggest you look here and/or contact Everlast: http://www.everlastgenerators.com/product/tig-stick/powerarc-200

its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting up wire tension. now it never jams. overall love it its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting... » Read More its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting up wire tension. now it never jams. overall love it « Show Less

Definitely! My husband is a welder and he purchased this drill to use at work on sheet metal, pipe, etc. Still works GREAT after tons of wear and tear.

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.

No. It's designed for styrene plastic welding. You could maybe get the pieces to stick together for a short time, but there would be no strength at all.

I purchased Ameriflame to braze copper, but it has performed well in light welding. It has completely satisfiedall my brazing and welding needs. Good Luck
