That's the exact same one I have (except it was $100 cheaper when I got it from Summit). I have the whole kit. It's pretty versatile. What have you got in mind to use it on?

I would step up one for a few dollars more. You should be able to adjust the voltage and wire speed. That says you can adjust the voltage, but I don't see how from the picture. There is only one knob. I got the Lincoln ProMig 135 and I love it and can do anything I need to a car.

Just my .02 cents.

would this be capable of fabricating brackets or other pieces?

What is the incentive to pay 1000.00 compared to 300.00 on a welder?

The knob is for wire speed, 1-10 speed. Voltage isn't as variable. There's a high-low and a 1-2 for voltage.

With mine I've built an engine test stand, a cart for moving around my 12-bolt, welded my exhaust, and a few other odds and ends. I would think it would handle most fabrication jobs. It does for me. I don't know how I ever lived without one.

Welding patch panels.

I haven't tried it for that, yet. It is nice to know I can use gas if need be. And from your previous thread it might be a good idea to use gas for body work (I don't have a bottle yet). I would guess that the body panels are under the 1/8 max. thickness of this machine. I think you could do it with that MIG. I plan on trying with mine eventually.
