i dont do much stainless, as im set up for mild steel and would need to swap wire rolls to do the welding …

this welder doesnt like to take a new roll of wire easily … its a PITA … usualy take a freakin hour …

so thats why i say no to SS welding

nmost welding is done with argon or an argon mixture. The gas has little to do with the ability to weld, but the gas mixture does mater still, the wire/feed rod is as much dependent

Either TIG weld, or use a MIG with stainless wire and pure argon

Ditto here… I will be set up for mild steel Stargon/MIG, Stainless Steel with Argon/TIG, and Aluminum with Helium/TIG. Up to 3/8 for Al and 1/2 for Mild Steel, but welder is designed for intricate thin metal/piping work mainly. Unknown on SS thickness yet…

I think I know who he’s talking about, and that guy is top notch.

Makes intercoolers for a living, and is starting his own welding/fabrication business.
