My experience is limited to flux-core on a "Display4Top" which is a pain on thin metal - pics attached - about 1mm thick steel barrel - I had limited success doing very short bursts and combined with an offcut of the same material "welded" to the back I did briefly manage one short strip of reasonable (for me) bead in the middle of the only blue pic, I'd obvious combined and built up enough steel not to just blow through
As such I'm looking for a MIG welder that can go reasonably low current - I have a vague memory of MIG from tech class at school being fine on fairly thin wall box section and making a nice bead fairly easily? - A lot I see online are just like mine and only have 3 switches, "Power On", "Min/Max" and "1/2" I guess Min and 1 are the low power setting?
Such as Clarke MIG145 No-Gas MIG Welder - I assume I'll have the same issues as I do currently?
I have been offered this gas welder "Wolf MMA-MIG160 Combination Welder 40-155 Amps 230V + Holder, Clamp & Torch" but I'm not sure if 40A is what I want? or if it's a reasonable model?
