Hi,
I'm a GC in San Francisco that specializes in seismic upgrades, underpinning and excavation. I need to purchase a machine for welding temporary shoring pipes, brace plates on wide flange beams and other miscellaneous things. The temporary shoring pipes are usually 6" welded to 1/2" bearing plates. The wide flanges are typically in the W12x45 or smaller range.
I'm leaning towards the single phase 252. Do you feel this machine would work as a job site welder for my needs? I like that it plugs into my spider boxes and it can also be used for smaller detail stuff like fence repairs ect. The 3 phase machines are a no go for me. I'm open to the stick machines if the consensus is the 252 is too light for a job site welder.
Thanks for your help,
Buck
