Not ideal but bevel your edges and add in extra re-enforcement and you'll be ok or swap out for thinner stuff.pavetim wrote:Oh crap guess I forgot how thick my stuff was just measured the l angle and its 1/4 steel and not 3/16. Oops now my 210 everlast isn't strong enough

My 210 EXT has 60% duty cycle at 210 Amps so will he good there. Ill practice with doing root, fill and cap welds and straight butt welds and see what happens. Don't worry ill practice before jumping on the trailer lol. Ill get some pieces and play around this weekend amd let you know how it goes.
Got a better measurement now I'm not so tired. I got metal in Japan so it's odd size. Its actually 5.6mm which is about 7/32 so smaller than 1/4 so I should be fine. I will play around with 3/32 and 1/8 filler and see what one works for me. I have the tools to cut it, just need solution to etch it.
If you're planning on welding both sides, you have plenty of juice. Even at 7/32"pavetim wrote:Oh crap guess I forgot how thick my stuff was just measured the l angle and its 1/4 steel and not 3/16. Oops now my 210 everlast isn't strong enough
