gimme some diagrams/more details. I can probably do it depending on how thick the metals are. 90a is good penetration up to 3/8. A little thicker won’t matter a whole lot. ---

Can you make several passes and increase the penetration? Somehow I see this turning way off topic…but I’ve been tempted by alot of of the 90-135amp MIG set ups, just wondered if I’d be SOL for alot of the jobs I wanna do…nothing hardcore, just typical garage stuff… ---

In the manual it did say it was possible to weld thicker metals with a 3 pass technique. Somehow I just don’t think that is the best option for what I have intended. I have welded thicker then the 3/8 I am setup for it the welds are strong. Stronger than the metal in fact, but there has to be a reason why its only rated for 3/8 and would prefer not to find out. ---
