can you weld stainless steel square pipes, with this welder?,,thanks

This machine can only weld mild steel, as there is not much selection for wire. While it might actually fuse the stainless together, the weld WILL rust.

Absolutely yes you can use pipe, but it not nessery means it will loose a bolt, with tough bolts it's best to heatem up witch torch.

Absolutely, with this welder you can use either flux-core wire, or a shielding gas. Using gas gives you a little cleaner weld, but for floor pans either method will work great. Hope this helps! Bob W.

Yes you can, that's the first thing I did was use it as a plastic welder. I used it to repair a crack on my motorcycle fairing.

I have never had an occasion to weld pvc pipe. but if it is clean and you have pvc material to weld with then it should work. but remember that the heat form welding will make the weld joint brittle so I would not recommend it

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

Depends on whether you are talking about a gasket to make a seal or whether it will be welded in place. Heavy gauge al. side would be possible to weld but don't know if a gasket would hold due to the rounded sides.

I don't know but stainless steel is a lot harder than the metal used to form furnace ducts. I would worry it might damage the blades.

No. You can't weld anything with this welder! The feeding mechanism is so jumpy, you are LUCKY to get a tac that looks like a 3 year old that tried to start welding. Invest in a better welder, if you plan on doing any actual welding, caue I bought this POS and ended up throwing it out.

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.

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.

hello,i would say that welding an exhaust pipe is best done with a wire feed welder.the exhaust pipe is rather thin and you may be able to do it w/this using lower amperage and small diameter rods like a 6013 which is pretty much an all purpose rod for steel.however,i have never tried welding exhaust and from my experience of having an exhaust installed and someone welding on it, they used a wire feed and down side is,that the heat and welding process will remove the galvinized protection at/around the weld and it will usually corrode/rust out at that point quicker.hope this helps some.

No they do not. i had a machine shop install mine out of stainless. I put mine on an engine stand and have them weld the tube in. it cost me an additional hundred bucks but I love them.

No. The outlet style and size are most commonly used for nitrogen. You will need to have it filled. A local welding supply can usually help.

Yes. Cant weld anything over 14g properly. Sold mine and bought Miller Migmatic

I have not welded exhast pipes, but I welded other material about the same thickness and it works quite well. You just have to select the proper settings.

The pipes are in oval shapes at the corners. I would not think there is a way to make a it into a square. I have not installed mine because we have a separate shower. We may install it later.
