Which MIG ??

[Biju Revamma]

Hi, I am a firsttime Welder. I would like to use it as DIY. I do some metal sculpting work. With 22gage steel sheet to 12mm bars. How much maximum Amps I need for the MIG machine.
Is this machine is suitable for my works?? >> (Goplus® MIG 130 Welder Flux Core Wire Automatic Feed Welding Machine)

Do you mean this machine http://www.amazon.com/Goplus®-Welder-Automatic-Welding-Machine/dp/B0185BEKK6

If so then I would say NO.

I would look at something like :-

Portamig 186s MIG Welder Package http://www.weldequip.com/portamig-mig-welders.htm


I would always try and get a welder with a good duty cycle, the welder you are looking at has a very poor duty cycle. and I would use a gas mig as it avoids slag which is annoying on thin metal.

this is also a useful link

He's from India, I think shipping on a Portamig might be a little pricy.

If it's the same machine, definitely NO. Indian mains is 230V and that's a 110/120V machine.
