A year ago I said that I would post a video showing how this welder works with sheet metal. I am actually posting two. I wasn't to happy about how this went but my opinion changed by the time I was finished so check out video # 13 for that. Yes, I know my welding isn't great but this is only the second time I've tried sheet metal. I heat warped the panel on the other side of the car so believe me this is better. :) I am using .30 flux core welding wire. I am at the end of 150" of extension cord. In this video I have the wire set on about 23 and the volts on about 2. Once again I have to say that this welder is very powerful. One thing that I believe that I discovered was that the quality of the metal in the car is not as good as that I am welding in. The new metal is 22 gauge and the car panel is about 20. Still, the sheet metal in the car burns through more quickly than the new and thinner material. Is it the 1993 Japanese steel perhaps? I don't know. I am more satisfied with my sheet metal forming as this panel comes down and wraps underneath. I made some changes after filming this video which is why I made the next in the series. PS Since last year I have welded some thicker material on the cars rear frame when I had to cut a piece out and replace a captured nut. This welder really shines on thick material. PSSplease remember that my camera only lets me shoot 60 second videos so that is why they are so brief.
