Would this work for welding.

More of a DIY and haven't been doing much this winter. Will be able to answer the question better in the summer.

I would rather have an exhaust or weld outside. There are special masks with positive pressure for welders.

Not by itself. P100 (3M 2091/07000) is solely a very high efficiency particulate filter, not rated for acid gas or other fumes. Google "Selection Guide for 3M Reusable Respirators" for recommendations based on your welding environment.

If you are handy you can likely hook it up to the high current power source for the welding part. Then you just need to provide an additional voltage source to the feed motor. I actually did this myself with a spare AC/DC adapter. The wire feed speed depends on how much voltage you provide. There is a separate 4-pin connector (as seen in the picture) for the feed motor input and trigger switch.

Mostly for welding Aluminum --requires an Aluminum wire spool and Argon gas (and a welder, in this case a Hot Max). Works great for me.

No it will not do stick welding, but with this machine why worry about that. It is excellent for a beginner.

I wouldn't try, this item is a piece of scrap metal, I've bought 2 and both broke, bought a welder and saved it.

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

Yes I believe so. It states it will cut 8 in steel, which requires the biggest welding tips. I use propane for my torch, so that should be considered too.

Yes I believe it would. My son has the exact same one and they have built many trailers for others as well as themselves for work. I would read the recommendations within the welder package. But for the most part this welder handles quite a few jobs. Hope this helps.

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 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.

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.

Check your welding rod specs. Basically it should be able to weld just about any thickness with a 220v power source. It would of course have to be a multi pass weld for thicker materials. It will weld pretty much every type of type of steel if you select the right fillers and set up. Given what you're asking, you might take a little more time reading up on welding before you buy. There's lots of free info on the web. ESAB also had a pretty good free tutorial in this education/training section.

YES, this machine will do the job. There are other machines as big, (in terms of amperage, or capacity, but none bigger, that i am aware of, without going to a three phase heavy industrial welder. I have several welders but my Ironman is the best machine I have. It welds excellent.

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.

yes it will but you will need to turn the temp down to 1. Change the heat setting to match the material. Additionally I have not changed the wire speed once it has been dialed in to the material that is being welded..

Hey K.O, I don't think this welder would be beneficial it is made for repairing hobie kayaks which are type 2 plastic so the gun is made to reach that certain temperature for molding that type of plastic and what not. So therefore I would not purchase this welder for that issue.

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.
