This welder can be used for weld stainless steel small pieces like fall stud earring and other jewelry small pieces?

No, it is to hot. You only need a small torch and the stainless steel wire. Check online for jewelry welding.

not suitable for fine work, will melt the entire piece if is less than 1/16" in thickness, I will not recommend for precision work.

Yes if you bevel it and most likely need to use a couple of passes, good for a occasional job but if doing a lot of 1/4" and larger welding would be better off getting a larger machine. This works well with 3/16" steel and smaller, really good on 1/8" steel and smaller. In most home welding you don't need a bigger welder. The rule is buy the best welder you can afford, and I would avoid the non name brand welders. Get a Hobart, miller or Lincoln to be sure it is a quality machine

I believe it would be, but I'm not a welding expert. I've used it with my Mig welder and it worked really well. It transitioned to dark so fast I could not detect the arc flash.

It's a nice little welder , I have welded 1/2 inch steel with no problem.But I don't think it would last long if you over worked it.If you want to weld for hours at a time , get a bigger welder.

I don't believe you can. Might be able to run a small MIG welder to run off the A.C. side. The D.C. output is limited to 12 volts. No capability to adjust the amperage like you would need for a welder. No lugs for welding cables. Too small to run a cracker box welder.

No. It's designed for styrene plastic welding. You could maybe get the pieces to stick together for a short time, but there would be no strength at all.

Yes, it can for a flux welder I'm very impressed. I've welded car panels two steel rods together and a broken sway bar. Just do the necessary prep work. and no galvanized steel the fumes are dangerous.

I would assume so. If you mean use the soldering iron for jewelry, I would say it should work (I don't know anything about soldering jewelry). The iron has a very fine tip, as it comes with an electronics kit.

I am by no means an expert as this was also my first welder. In my opinion it is close to the absolute minimum to do any serious welding. Buy anything smaller and you will be upgrading very soon. No it can not be use as a stick (arc) welder.

I'm not a welder, but most of the body is made of metal with only thin rubber on the face. For woodwork, I usually have the piece against the frame behind the clamps.My guess would be no.

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.

very happy with it. I think a smaller welder, probably a 110v with more taps/infinite settings would be better for the thin stuff

Excellent. I have welded 3/8 successfully, but I am a long time experienced welder and know how to make the most of the heat. Welds 1/4" easily. It will blow through the 24 or 22 gauge on highest setting if you're not careful.

I have used a small, handheld torch (Blazer GB4001 Stingray Butane Torch) on this clay with good results. This will do earring or pendant sized objects.

No Way! For soldering both materials to be soldered together must be heated, together with the soldering agent, namely, tin, lead, etc. Guns like this, as good as they are, for small stuff like wires and maybe jewelry, won't do big stuff. A flaming torch is needed for copper pipes and such, and you'll need an arc welder for steel anything larger than real small, thin stuff. For aluminum: I've never soldered, but I'm told "tig" welding is necessary.

Absolutely, you'll be supprised with what this little guy can do! My friends have welded their pick-up tail gates together with this welder. You might have to take a little more time doing it but, rest assured that this is a quality product with making a beautiful weld. It's extremely portable and efficient. Don't expect to weld a car chassis but you'll weld 55g drums all day.
