I bought this welder to do little repair jobs around the house and could take it somewhere and weld without needing to rig up a 220 volt connection.
It's supposed to use 1/16", 5/64", 3/32" rods and weld up to 1/4" steel.
Using t 3/32 rods to weld 1/8" steel the welder overheats after three minutes and turns off for fifteen minutes.
I found some 1/16" rods that don't do much on the 1/8" steel but might do better when used on the 16 gage sheet steel but haven't tried that yet.
Would it be worth the time, money and effort to order
5/64" rods?
Will they be able to weld up to 3/16" steel which is what I really need it to do?
