Hi ! I don't know anything about welding, but am looking to get one for a project I am working on. I need to seam weld the edges of some stainless steel plates (2-3mm) together, and will also need to weld the same steel to a copper pipe (the pipe would go through a circular hole in the steel). I will also need to weld some copper to copper, but I am guessing I would do that with a blowtorch. I don't need it to be incredibly strong, just to hold the thing together. I have seen an ARC stick welder for sale second hand in my area. The project suggested using a TIG welder, but these are more expensive - would an ARC stick welder be OK for this ? It's a Clarke 180 model.
Thanks.
Thanks.
