Hello,
I am relatively new to welding. I was wondering what the correct amp setting should be on a mig machine if you were going to weld 1 5/8 OD x .134 mild steel tubing and then what the setting should be for 1 3/4 OD x .134 We are looking to building a roll cage for the local dirt track and that are their requirements. Will a 180 machine do this welding properly with one pass? Or am I pushing the limits. I am looking to purchase a new mig welder and I can't decide between the Hobart 180 or the Miller 175. I want to safely make this roll cage? I was also wanting to purchase a Berrier Dunn Buggy frame that is tack welded and then finish it with this machine. Will they do the job safely?
I plan on taking some class first before I try to tackle roll cages. I know I need to gain some more experience first. I guess my real question is will either of those welders handle what I want to do safely. Am I pushing the limits of either machine?
Thanks,
Tau
