Get some .030 wire

 

YUP. Even so it's still a 1/8" machine....a very decent one.
Quit trying to make a 110 MIG something it aint....... and can never be.No that chittee flucked corp wont help either.
Use it for what it's awesome at. 1/8 and less and preferably on pure co2/030.
C25/023 is for a body man. It fits very well there

 

Under real world conditions the machine really is an 1/8" max machine. Sure you can go to all sorts of extended lengths to try and get that extra 1/16" of an inch, but you'd still get better consistent results simply using a larger machine at higher output. I simply wouldn't trust that you'd get consistent good welds with the limited duty cycle you'd have maxed out on output along with all the other variables that would have to be taken into consideration.

 

I don't wana get into the whole 110 vs 220 thing, I mostly got it for bodywork, art, hobby fun type stuff 1/8" or smaller. Not building bridges over here haha-but I did have just a few joints to do that were 3/16". I got some Lincoln(211 I think) 030 wire last night and after fiddling with the wire speed it's working better than the 023, much hotter. Thanks!

 

Don't expect a ton of penetration but it should work for some stuff. I wouldn't use it on anything structural. But if you want the most penetration out of a small 110v welder you need some .035 flux

 

In case anyone is searching like I was, Settings on the door for 030 work pretty good, I only increased wire speed just alil
