just wondering how well will a small 115V stick welder do for tacking on sheet metal patches.

Dcairns560 Mar 9th, 08, 8:25 PM It seems like it would be really hard to control to keep from burning holes in the rather thin sheet metal. Stick welders are more for welding heavier steel. 65ElCaminoMan Mar 9th, 08, 8:45 PM its a small stick welder only 70 amps, if that makes a difference sevt_chevelle Mar 9th, 08, 11:41 PM wont happen, sorry. I set my TIG welder at 42 amps, a stick welder at 70 amps...scarey. figbash Mar 10th, 08, 8:29 PM If you can find .025" stick electrodes you might have a chance. ;) Get yourself a MIG and save yourself a lot of aggravation, stick welders are for building boat trailers.

A friend gave me one but I have never tried it, I have a MIG welder. Paul | ||
