can this machine weld 16 and 18 guage sheet metal?

Very easily! I have used it for 12 gauge tubing as well. Good penetration. Stick welded 3/16" also.

The beauty of this machine is it can use 110v or 220v outlets. Yes, you can use a normal 110 plug, but you should have a 20 Amp service to the outlet you are going to use. If you are going to weld heavy material the 110v service may not be adequate. I have welded 1/8" and 1/4" material with 110v no problem. Note that your duty cycle my be diminished, but for hobby welding or light industrial, you should be OK.

As it is an 18 volt tool it only will run on 18. it will cut metal. But be prepared to have a few batteries on deck. Suggest a corded implement for heavier situations then just a few cuts. Check out porter cables 18v cut off wheel/ grinder.

one more thing I have to say, I've never been 100 amp welding electrode 6010 1/8've soldier with a maximum of 95 amps that it was not necessary to upload more amperage and that this machine can weld with more power that comes easily designed to reach 200 amps.

Sorry, I can't answer this question. I bought the welder for my husband, but we returned it because it didn't provide enough output for what he wanted.

No, you can't. It can handle both the small one or two pound spools, and the larger ten pound spools. Just like every other portable wire feed welder.

I put a ruler on the steel, and it is over 1mm thick. That would make it 18 gauge. The metal is very rigid, and powder coated to prevent corrosion. A very nice product.

I purchased the nailer specifically for 18GA brads. 16GA can split small pieces of wood, quarter round, etc.I use my brad nailer for small projects. I build small projects and I also use first and then use the brad nailer to finish. It works great.

Yes, the machine runs on 220v or 120v. You are able to weld at about 190 amps at 220 volts but only about 130 amps at 120 volts. Very handy to have the option to use either.

No its not suitable to weld much of anything. It will also Cost you more to setup for a tig package then it will to just buy a new lincoln welder.

This great tig welder, will use house whole amps, I'm using 110 volts, on a 20 amp broker, this EverLast will out do and last a long time.

I used 16 gauge and its working great. I think you can use 14 as well but 16 works fine so save a few 4.

You can't tig weld aluminum on this machine. It does not have HF ac output. It weld stainless as good as any I've used. No foot pedal of coarse, but still welds great.

yes it will but you will need to turn the temp down to 1. Change the heat setting to match the material. Additionally I have not changed the wire speed once it has been dialed in to the material that is being welded..

Remember it's a 110vac mig welder- you're talking a rated capacity of 3/16" in mig, and 1/4" in fcaw. So structural is pushing it with one of these, since you'll only be able to swing short-circuit transfer on this machine (spray transfer is all but impossible). Miller and Hobart are going to be similar, but the Miller will likely be able to push a longer duty cycle in the real world. I've never tripped the thermal overload on mine, but have had other machines kick off on me. The fit and finish on this unit is really good, on par with the bigger industrial units.

my machine will run fine on 20 amp breaker on 50 ft. cord . amazing. You also can weld aluminum with this machine D.C. straight polarity with helium.

This is a good machine for the price. It can weld flux core I use it for Aluminum weldingand I have to l let it cool at intervals. Works very good - no big set-up involved.
