Hello
I would like to buy a welder and i have read the advice page on this site. I understand that a mig welder is recommended for beginners but also that an arc welder is better for thicker metals. Now, I will be using the welder for small diy projects but, unless I got this wrong, I would not be able to weld a 12M nut (which is thicker than 4 or 5 mm) to a sheet of steel for example, which makes it quite limiting. Is this correct?
